Mrs. Dede Scott
I am honored to lead a school with such persevering students, a dedicated staff, and a supportive school community. I feel very fortunate to be part of this school and to support the students and families. I love serving in my hometown!
I have been dedicated to the field of education for over twenty years. Prior to becoming the principal, I taught grades 1st, 3rd, and 4th at both Belvedere and Mossy Creek. I worked with all students in grades 5K – 5 at Mossy Creek, as the Math Interventionist. In 2017, I became the Math Content Interventionist at the District Level. From 2018 – 2023, I served as the Assistant Principal at Clearwater Elementary School. I am thrilled to utilize my skills as an educational leader at Hammond Hill Elementary School and work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success both academically and socially.
In addition to being an educator I am first and foremost a wife and mom. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we are both graduates of North Augusta High School. Our daughter attends USC-Aiken in the School of Nursing and our son is a Freshman at NAHS.
I view education as a life-long process and I am excited to learn every year from our students, teachers, and parents at HHE. Most importantly, I believe that students are at the center of all school-related decisions. Because the relationships between families and the school are vital to the success of our students, I encourage you to become involved in every way possible.
