Meet Mr. Fitz

Hello and welcome to 5th grade! My name is Rob Fitzgerald and I am a math and science teacher. I am proud to be a member of the Scott family as a teacher as well as being being a parent of students here since the school opened in 2014. My wife Colleen and I have four sons, all of which have attended or are currently students at Scott. We absolutely love the school and this community, and being an even greater part of it as a teacher in our school.

I have been teaching since 2001 in various grade levels and subjects including all core subject areas in 5th grade, gifted and talented in 3rd through 5th, and 8th grade U.S. History. I am looking forward to bringing my unique and fun style of teaching to you child's learning environment this year. 

My passion for teaching began early in my life because I didn’t fit the mold of the average student. I was an active and imaginative boy and school seemed more like a “cage” than a place of joy, expression, and exploration. When I decided to choose teaching as an undergrad and ultimately in my Masters studies as well, it was with the mission to allow students to express their unique personalities, and give them an understanding of the value and excitement learning and growing as a person can bring to their lives. That mission is one that I will continue to carry out with the students at Scott. This is going to be an amazing year of growth and FUN!
