Key Issues
Enhancing Student Success
Every child deserves access to a high-quality education that prepares them for future success.
I will work to ensure that students at Hellgate Elementary receive strong academic support, access to modern learning tools, and an environment that fosters their growth and well-being.
Supporting Our Teachers and Staff
Our educators are the backbone of our schools.
I will advocate for competitive salaries, professional development opportunities, and resources that enable teachers to focus on what they do best—teaching and inspiring students.
Strengthening School-Community Partnerships
Schools thrive when families and communities are engaged.
I will prioritize transparent communication and collaboration between parents, teachers, and administrators to make informed decisions that benefit students and reflect community values.
Meet Scott
I am a dedicated father, community member, and professional with a deep commitment to ensuring the success of Hellgate Elementary School District. As a long-time Missoula resident, I have a vested interest in the quality of education and the well-being of the students, teachers, and families that make up our district. With a background in leadership, problem-solving, and technology, I bring a fresh perspective to the challenges and opportunities our school district faces.
As a parent of students attending Hellgate Elementary, I understand firsthand the importance of maintaining a high standard of education, supporting our educators, and ensuring that our schools remain safe and welcoming environments for all children. My professional experience in customer success and account management has equipped me with skills in collaboration, budgeting, and strategic planning—skills that are directly transferable to making thoughtful, data-driven decisions on the school board.
I am running for the Hellgate Elementary School Board because I believe in fostering an educational system that prioritizes student achievement, teacher support, and community involvement. I am committed to listening to parents, teachers, and community members to ensure that Hellgate Elementary remains a place of excellence.
