Scott Hill
Director of College Counseling
Scott Hill, Director of College Counseling, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, spanning twenty-one years, to Barstow families. He began his career at the University of Missouri – Kansas City in the Office of Admissions, recruiting for a variety of programs including Pharmacy, Conservatory of Music, Arts & Sciences, Engineering, and the 6-year Medical Program. His main responsibilities centered on application review and admitting, while also handling the initial eligibility for the Division I Athletics Program. He came to Barstow in the summer of 2000, placing a huge emphasis on the importance of finding the right fit for each student. He has served as a delegate for the Missouri Association for College Admission Counseling to NACAC's National Conference eight years and is a former Executive Board member while also presenting at both regional and national conferences on the topic of college counseling. He visits approximately 25-30 colleges per year in order to strengthen longstanding relationships, while hosting 105-120 colleges each fall on the Barstow campus.
As Director of College Counseling, Mr. Hill spends a great deal of his time talking to upperclassmen and their parents in an effort to assist them with the college search process. "Each year is a new experience in college counseling. I have the opportunity to work with fresh students who exhibit goals and desires that are different from their predecessors. I work to keep abreast of new programs, application methods, scholarship programs and college profiles. I most enjoy assisting students in their journey to the next level and watching them exceed their own expectations."
Scott resides in Lee's Summit, MO with his wife, Mary and his two children, Brett and Olivia.
