Ten Years of History at AHS
Alyssa Devlin
Staff Writer
World War II, and my favorite story
from history is the stealing of Lincoln‘s body.
Mr. Scott teaches history and is the
Adviser for the National Honor
Society and Ultimate Frisbee Team
Did you always want to be a
teacher? If not, what did you
want to be?
Growing up, I wanted to be an FBI
agent. I first went to college for
criminal justice as my major, but
changed it after my first semester to
pursue a career in teaching. I never
even took a criminal justice class!
Both of my parents were teachers,
so I wanted to be different than
them. But, I ended up following the
same path that they did.
Where did you grow up?
Rockland
What aspect of history or specific time period is your favorite?
My favorite aspect of history is
How long have you been teaching at Abington High?
This is my tenth year.
Which classes do you/have you
taught here? Which are your
favorites to teach?
I have taught US History I and II, AP
US History, Law, and Psychology.
My favorite to teach is AP US History because it challenges me the
most.
What do you like the most
about Abington High?
The tight community, how students
are driven to succeed, and the students want to work together rather
than against one another.
What has been your most
memorable moment at Abington High?
I do not have a specific moment, but
in general it makes me happy when I
hear back from students that they
got something out of my class and
they thank me for it. It is so rewarding. Also, (I appreciate) how Abington High took a chance on me, and
hired me despite being straight out
of college.
Jason Scott
How long have you been coaching Ultimate Frisbee?
Ten years.
What is your best memory
from Frisbee from any season
so far?
Winning the Division I Andover
Invitational.
Do you think that the team will
have much success this season?
I think so; we will be a much better
team in May. We have a lot of new
players, and I think we will surprise
some teams.
Do you have any hobbies? What
are they?
I like to play golf, play guitar, cook
for my wife and spend time with my
family.
