Scott County High School

The Cardinals are back! We had a great first day filled with lots of smiles, excitement, and Cardinal pride. Day 1 down, and we’re ready to do it all again tomorrow! Go Cards!

The SCHS team is ready! We’re excited to welcome our students back tomorrow and officially kick off a great school year. See you tomorrow, Cardinals!

The first day of school is TOMORROW! Before we welcome students back to SCHS, we still have a few new Cardinals to introduce!

Meet Ms. Prokes, who joins SCHS with five years of experience teaching Chemistry, Chemistry II, Physics, and Integrated Science.

A proud University of Kentucky graduate, Ms. Prokes earned a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry with a minor in Physics as well as a bachelor’s degree in Secondary STEM Education. Go Cats!

Outside of the classroom, she enjoys reading, games and puzzles, concerts, traveling, UK games, Keeneland, and spending time with family and friends. She also enjoys running half marathons, even if she admits she sometimes questions why she keeps signing up for them!

One of her dreams is to be in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and her favorites include Grease, Bob’s Burgers, and Dissolution by Nicholas Binge.

She’s especially excited to join Scott County because she’ll once again get to work in the same building as her husband!

Welcome to SCHS, Ms. Prokes! We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!

We’re still 2 days away from the first day of school, which means there’s time to introduce another new member of the SCHS team!

Meet Ms. Roll, who will be teaching Spanish I and AP Spanish.

Ms. Roll earned her bachelor’s degree from Centre College, her MAT from Morehead State University, and her master’s degree in Spanish from the University of Louisville. This will be her 19th year teaching full time.

Outside of school, she loves to cook, read, travel, spend time in nature, and be with her husband and two sons. Before becoming a teacher, she worked as a baker for a small café and catering company. One Christmas, she and one other baker made 90 red velvet cakes—and she hasn’t eaten red velvet cake since!

Ms. Roll is excited to join SCHS because of the cultural opportunities and wide variety of classes available to students.

Welcome to SCHS, Ms. Roll!

Just 2 days until the first day of school, and we’re continuing to introduce the newest members of the SCHS team!

Meet Ms. Smith, who will be joining SCHS as an HSC Special Education teacher.

Ms. Smith earned her undergraduate degree from Eastern Kentucky University and her master’s degree from the University of Louisville. This will be her fifth year in education.

Outside of school, she loves reading, spending time outdoors, and being with her family and animals. She also has two children at home.

For Ms. Smith, joining SCHS is especially meaningful. She’s excited for the opportunity to give back to the community and school that helped shape who she is today.

Welcome to SCHS, Ms. Smith!

We’ve got another new Cardinal to introduce today!

Meet Mr. Quattrocchi, better known as Coach Q! He will be teaching Business, Multimedia Publishing, and Marketing while also serving as the Head Coach of SCHS Boys Basketball.

Coach Q earned his bachelor’s degree in History from the University of Kentucky and his master’s degree in Education from Georgetown College. This will be his fifth year in education after taking a 12-year break from the classroom.

Outside of school, Coach Q collects X-Men comic books and loves watching sports, especially college football and basketball. He’s also a big fan of Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is a foster and adoptive parent with one adopted daughter and one foster son.

Already a member of the Scott County community, Coach Q is excited to now be part of SCHS and help get Scott County basketball back to the top of the state.

Welcome to SCHS, Coach Q!

Just 3 days until the first day of school, and we’re continuing to introduce the newest members of the SCHS team!

Today, we’re excited to welcome Ms. Vaughn to the Cardinal family! She will be teaching Early Childhood Education and FCS Essentials and will also be involved with FCCLA.

Ms. Vaughn is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, and this will be her first year in education. Growing up in Cynthiana, she says Scott County already feels familiar and reminds her of home.

Outside of the classroom, she enjoys baking, sewing, reading, shopping, and spending time with her family, friends, and her dog, Ruby. She once baked, built, and decorated a two-foot-tall gingerbread house!

Ms. Vaughn is excited to build relationships with her students and create a classroom where they feel valued, supported, and encouraged.

Welcome to SCHS, Ms. Vaughn!

❤️💙 FCA: Faith, Fellowship & Fun! 💙❤️

What better way to kick off the countdown to a new school year than with the SCHS Fellowship
Of Christian Athletes?! 🙏🏽🏓🍧

Our FCA students gathered this morning for a time of prayer, fellowship, pickleball, and popsicles! It was a great morning filled with good conversations, lots of laughs, and an opportunity to come together in faith before the start of another school year.

With school starting THIS Wednesday, we’re so excited to see our Cardinals back in the halls! ❤️💙

A huge thank-you to everyone who came out and helped make this morning such a great time. What a wonderful way to start the year—together, in faith and fellowship!

❤️💙

Seniors, your final year is almost here! Join us for Senior Sunrise on Friday, August 14, at 6:30 a.m. We can't wait to see you there! (Feel free to bring blankets and games!)
