Henderson County Schools 5 - 8 Teacher of the Year -
Scott Bridges - Scotts Hill Elementary School
My name is Scott Bridges. I teach Social Studies in Grades 6, 7, and 8 at Scotts Hill Elementary School. This is my 12th year of teaching, all of which have been spent at Scotts Hill Elementary, where I attended. I graduated from Scotts Hill High School in 2009 and the University of Tennessee at Martin in 2012 earning a degree in Secondary Education with a History concentration.
What I enjoy most about teaching Social Studies is the opportunity to help students understand history, government, and geography in a way that addresses misconceptions and prepares students for their future by gaining a better sense of the past. I want students to walk away from my classroom believing their time was not wasted because they learned something valuable and had fun doing so.
I have been married for 14 incredible years to my best friend, Samantha, who I am now blessed to work alongside. We have two boys, Mack (4) and James (2), that keep us moving and laughing. I thank God for the many blessings he has given me.
