First Community Bank honored Superintendent Scott Gauntt as December’s Bus Driver of the Month recently, recognizing his dedication to not only steering our district forward but also ensuring students get to and from school safely each day.
From driving a bus to supporting students and staff in countless ways, Mr. Gauntt truly embodies the spirit of servant leadership. His commitment to Westside goes beyond the title of Superintendent—he wears many hats and is always willing to step up where needed.
Congratulations, Mr. Gauntt! Your dedication to our students, staff, and community does not go unnoticed! ❤🤍
