We’re delighted to post that two Scott students chose to unite.  Johnny Trenkamp graduated from Scott High School in 2017 and Bailea Elkins graduated from Scott in 2018. They had started dating in 2016 and got married July 10th, 2020. Their original wedding plans needed to change when the pandemic hit, so they celebrated by having an intimate back yard wedding at Johnny’s parents’  home with close family and friends.  We wish the lucky couple the very best as they move forward in life.
