Scott was a popular and highly regarded educator at Laguna and on the Analy High School campus where he taught for 20 years before becoming principal at Laguna, Analy's continuation high school.

As an Analy teacher Scott taught advanced placement classes on history and government for students planning on attending college.

Scott graduated from Terra Linda High School in Marin County, and graduated from U.C. Davis with a degree in Political Science. He began his teaching career in the old Analy Union High School District in 1979 at Laguna High School as a social science teacher before moving to Analy in 1984 to teach social studies.

In 1995 Scott was selected president of the West Sonoma County Union High School District Teachers' Association.

As the late principal of Laguna Continuation High School, Scott was a passionate advocate of the Teen Counseling Project. After his death in January of 2003, the Teen Counseling Project was renamed in his honor. In this way, the Teen Counseling Project recognizes his unique contribution to the teens of Sonoma County and continues his commitment and caring.

Scott loved diving for Abalone on the Sonoma Coast, camping and fishing in Yellowstone and on the McCloud River in Northern California, the Kentucky Derby, floating the Russian River, playing cards, Cal Bears football, and a good single malt Scotch.

You are missed and will never be forgotten.

"some of Scott's ashes are scattered near what the locals call Red Spot, on the south side of Hull Mountain" off Hull Mountain Road near Lake Pillsbury, Mendocino National Forest, California.

"The loss of such a great teacher, leader, mentor and friend will mark our hearts for some time to come...but what will stand the test of time are the innumerable acts of kindness, humanity, tolerance and understanding that Scott gave to everyone he knew - students, teachers, friends and parents. His death is shocking and fills me with sorrow because my grief is for those who will not have the priveledge of knowing the caring, vibrant and enthusiastic model of a good man. Scotty - watch out for us and someday we will meet again."
