In 1973 he began his teaching career at Halifax School District, where he taught 5th grade for 35 years, retiring in 2008. He started coaching baseball in 1976 and was the Halifax head coach from 1984 to 1986. Scott was very appreciative towards the Halifax School District for all the many opportunities provided to him. He co-taught TESA (Teacher Expectations and Student Achievement), being a mentor to new teachers in the district. He also served on multiple school related committees.

He also made trips to Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Alaska, and even drove across the United States on two occasions.
