The Bulldog turns 100

The “Bulldogs” are gearing up to celebrate Scott High School’s Centennial Celebration. Who knows what that is in dog years? Committee members Gay Blossom, Gwendolyn Briggs, Jerry Chabler, Avie Dixon, Dick Eppstein, Theresa M. Gabriel, Bill Harris, Susan Hirsch, Marvin Jacobs, Treva Jeffries, Barbara Meyers, Stan Odesky, Jim Scheib, Ed Weber, Nannette Wooley and multi-generational alumni are eager to share in the festivities and pride for the school that has stood the test of time.

The old dog has some new tricks

The festivities, to be held on Saturday, October 19 at the Seagate Centre in downtown Toledo, are open to the public. Bulldogs past and present invite the community to join the evening of fun and “funding”. A portion of the ticket price will benefit the Scott High Scholarship Fund through the Toledo Community Foundation.  Scott High alumni hope to generate sufficient funds to provide an annual scholarship to a deserving graduate.

Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog

Scott High School first opened its doors on September 8, 1913. The school has had notable visitors stroll through its corridors including Dr. Martin King Jr., Rosa Parks and President Obama. Alumni have expressed sentiments like, “pride”, “tradition”, and “a sense of family” to describe their Scott High School education. The Bulldog Nation is proud of their past history and certain that the tradition will continue for another 100 years.
Scott High School Centennial Celebration, Saturday, October 19, cocktails 5:30pm, dinner and program followed by dancing, begin at 7pm. Tickets are $75. A football game, parade, and student-led tour of Scott High School are also planned.

Al Hotchkiss, Sulphur Springs Realty, 1958 class president

I am proud of my Scott history. My uncle and Dad went here and I met my wife here-49 years later and we’re still together. We had discipline. We had accountability. Back then, if you got in trouble in school, 
I knew I was going to get in trouble at home. I wouldn’t change a thing about my experience at Scott.

James Mann, Mann Insurance, class of 1999

For me, Scott means family. It means togetherness. It means learning how to reach for goals. I loved coming to school every day.James Mann, Mann Insurance, class of 1999

Theresa M. Gabriel, Renaissance woman, class of 1955

“My Scott High experience made me the Renaissance woman I am today. It taught me how to focus and to set goals. We learned things like bookkeeping and how to balance a checkbook-real life skills. It is true what they say, ‘Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog’.

Treva Jeffries, Scott High School principal since 2008, class of 1992

My Scott High experience carried on a legacy. My father taught here and my four siblings and I are
Bulldogs. Scott built a solid foundation for the rest of our lives.

Stan Odesky, general chair of the event, class of 1955

We had a strong academic experience at Scott that gave us an opportunity to go to college. I appreciated the interpersonal relationships and the chance to interact with people of all different ethnic and religious backgrounds.

Brenda Morehead, Olympic athlete in 1976 and 1980 in track and field, class of 1975

“Scott was so wonderful. My freshman year was the first year that girls could wear slacks. One thing that sticks out most was the leadership and we were taught pride, pride, pride. School was a family. It was amazing. I am a Bulldog for life.”

Dr. Carnel Smith, educator, class of 1985

“I remember the spirit of Scott and the friendships. I was an athlete here and, I would say, overall, I will remember the sense of community we shared.”
