 Scott’s Hill School is located on Scott’s Hill road 5 1⁄2 miles north of the junction of Highways 44 and 11 south. Opened in 1940 with Stefina Eyford as the teacher and 13 pupils. Attendance never exceeded 15 students. The school was closed around 1950 with John Howk as the teacher and 14 pupils. The children then went to Whitemouth school. After the school closed, the former building was sold and stood vacant for many years. All that remains is part of the concrete base and a part of the school porch roof.  The building and site are privately owned. 

Among the teachers of Scott’s Hill School through the years were Neilona Mary Chatfield (1936-1938), Lois Cautley Lund (1938-1940), Stefania G. Eyford (1940), Emma Louise Hadley (1941), Isobel Margaretta Grierson (1941-1942), Phylis Rowena Birkett (1942-1943), Edith Grace Irvine (1943-1944), Jean Margaret McLeod (1944-1945), Mary Evelyn Pearson (1945-1946), Ada M. Kern (1946-1947), Juanita T. Bakke (1947-1948), Hazel Evelyn Kolton (1948-1949), and John Howk (1950).
