March 23, 1942 — February 14, 2022
James Bernard Scott – Dungannon, VA
James Bernard Scott, 79, passed away at his Dungannon, Virginia home built by his grandfather in 1917 on Monday, February 14, 2022. Jim was born in Kingsport, Tennessee on March 23, 1942.
Jim graduated from Dungannon High School in 1960, and from Lincoln Memorial University in 1965, with a B.S. in Education. He later attended Radford University and received his M.S. in School Administration and Supervision in 1973.
In 1967, Jim started his career in Scott County teaching at Shoemaker Elementary School, later becoming principal at Ft. Blackmore Elementary and Twin Springs High School. He was appointed Scott County School Superintendent in 1998 and retired in 2011.
Jim truly loved his family, his church, the Dungannon community, and the Scott County School System. He was a lifelong member of St. Patrick Catholic Church. He inspired others with his dedication to family, church, community and was a role model and mentor for students, teachers, supervisors, and staff of Scott County Schools. He had a love of all sports, especially basketball. Jim’s memory will be cherished by many whose lives he touched. For those he leaves behind his time on earth seems too short. However, for those touched by his kindness, caring, and giving, understand the quality of existence far surpasses the quantity of time one lives.
