Welcome and thank you for your interest in Scotland County Schools.

My commitment to you as parents and taxpayers is your children will receive a world-class education. We are strengthening our schools so your children will be inspired to learn, to understand and to grow into skillful and thoughtful citizens who are equipped to play vital roles in the ongoing development and enrichment of Scotland County and beyond.

Student achievement is paramount, and our pledge is we will align our resources so that every child achieves his or her highest level of potential as measured against state, national and international standards of academic performance.
   
Our expectation for students is they will reach their full potential and make appropriate decisions about the life they want to lead. Our goal is every student that comes through our doors will walk out with a diploma and the skills they need to be successful in an ever-changing world.
 
It is imperative that parents be fully involved in the education of their children. I know it is hard for working parents, but I implore you to find the time, every day, to help your children finish school assignments, to read, and to take responsibility for learning. Most of all, I ask parents to love and to praise your child's accomplishments and teach them the joy in learning and growing.  
 
We need you to be actively involved, to stay informed and ask the tough questions. We will work to earn your trust, and as we do we ask that you support your students as they grow and learn in Scotland County Schools.

Thank you for allowing us to educate your children, and thank you for supporting Scotland County Schools.

Sincerely,

Rick Stout
Superintendent
