"We are very excited for Scott," said Charley Norkus, SAS inSchool Account Manager for Ledford.

In the past year, Ledford High School has shown their strong academic commitment and their vision for preparing students to meet the demands of the twenty-first century." His district technology supervisor, Nancy Sands, nominated Scott. Ledford High School principal, Max Cole, supported his nomination saying, "In my 28 years, I have never found a more deserving candidate for recognition of exemplary teaching."
