"He makes sure that everyone is ok. I walk into school one day and looked different so he asks if I am ok. He has a difficult job, being an SRO and Law Enforcement Teacher, but still manages to keep a smile on his face and make everything enjoyable."
"I love Officer Scott so much! He is our resource officer but he also is my Law Enforcement teacher! He's like batman! He makes school and class so much better and much more enjoyable. He loves Springdale so much and you can tell! He truly is a hero to our school!"
