Scott first came to the District in 1976 when he was hired to teach Drawing and Painting at Saratoga High School. He worked there until 1979. During those years he also served as a football and baseball coach, club advisor, class advisor and yearbook advisor. As a junior member of the staff he was laid off due to post-Prop 13 budget cuts.

Following work in the business world and teaching in a private school Scott rejoined the District in 1985 at Los Gatos High School. He created and implemented a four-year art curriculum and has served with distinctions as Department Chairperson and Varsity Head wrestling coach. The accomplishments of Scott's art students and his athletics attest to his commitment to education and his exceptional talent as a teacher, mentor, manager and leader.

Scott took over the Assistant Principal in charge of facilities, athletics and activities in 2005.
