Scott High School

What Scott High School does

Scott High School is a public secondary institution operated by the Scott County Board of Education under Tennessee state law, located at 400 Scott High Drive in Huntsville, Tennessee. It serves grades 9-12 for the Scott County school district in rural northeastern Tennessee through a single-campus model. The school delivers standard public high school curriculum alongside a Career & Technical Education pathway, an Honors Program, ACT preparation, and a Department of Education-funded Upward Bound program partnered with Carson-Newman University that has been linked to a 4.5x higher college graduation rate among participants.

The school's technology stack consists of standard educational SaaS: ClassLink for single sign-on, PowerSchool for student information and grades, and adaptive learning platforms including Khan Academy, MobyMax, and MyLab Math, supported by school-issued laptops. A distinctive non-technological asset is the two-acre, student-built Museum of Scott County on campus, housing the world's largest collection of USS Tennessee memorabilia and operating as a living historical village with STEM-aligned Learning Lodge programming.

Scott High School is funded as a government entity through Tennessee state appropriations and Scott County tax revenue; tuition is free for in-district students, with school-issued laptops, textbooks, and basic supplies provided at no cost. The school supplements this base with federal program grants (e.g., Upward Bound, Title I family engagement), local sponsor contributions via the Breakfast Club program, and a 2026 telehealth partnership with East Tennessee Children's Hospital that introduces a healthcare service layer for enrolled students. Extracurricular surface area spans 13 TSSAA athletics programs (including football, cheer, band, cross country, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, track and field, and wrestling) and more than 20 student organizations ranging from Beta Club and DECA to eSports, FFA, and HOSA. Marc Taylor was introduced as the new Principal for the 2025-26 school year, with a stated agenda centered on personalized learning and college/career readiness.
