About Me.

Scott Hebert has been part of Citrus County Schools for the past 35 years.  He has worked as a Teacher, Guidance Counselor, Technology Specialist, Assistant Principal, Principal, Director of Area Schools and Elementary Education, Chief Academic Officer, Assistant Superintendent of School Operations, and is now serving as Superintendent of Citrus County.

 

Scott earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in elementary education from the Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania.  He furthered his education with a Master’s Degree in educational leadership from Nova Southeastern University and a Specialist Degree in guidance and counseling from Argosy University, and earned his Doctorate of Education from Florida Southern College.

​

Scott was the 1999 Florida Teacher of the Year and also received the Milken National Educator Award that same year.  Scott was also inducted into the Florida Educators Hall of Fame in 1998.  He believes that in every grade level and every class the focus of the classroom should be on what needs to happen to make children successful.  Technology, problem-solving skills, reading, writing, and mathematics should be woven into daily lessons to prepare students for the future.  Scott firmly believes we must open doors so that parents are welcome in our schools. 

 

Scott also serves on the Board of Directors for Citrus County Blessings, YMCA of the Suncoast, Citrus County Education Foundation and the Florida Education Research Association (FERA) and is a 2023 graduate of Leadership Citrus.
