Get to Know Your Admin: Scott A. Morehouse Principal, Hutto Elementary School With 12 years of dedicated service in Decatur County Schools, Scott A. Morehouse leads Hutto Elementary with a deep commitment to student success, safety, and growth. As principal, he oversees the school’s operations and works closely with teachers to ensure high-quality instruction, data-driven decision-making, and an environment where every child can thrive. His leadership extends beyond academics—he builds strong relationships with families and the community to create a culture of support and achievement.

🎉 Our top 20 students who reached their Literacy Choice Board goals enjoyed a special Literacy Leader event in the Media Hub! 📚 Mrs. Palmer read Enemy Pie and sparked a great discussion about what makes a friend vs. an enemy. Students picked a friend trait they want to be known for and designed 3D bookmarks with their chosen words—printed right on our 3D printers as keepsakes! 🖨️✨ While waiting, Mrs. Zock introduced them to infographics and how to showcase their reading data visually. What a fun and inspiring day of learning! 🌟
