PES LEADERSHIP

PES Principal

Mrs. Scoville is excited to be back with PUSD as the principal at Payson Elementary School.  She previously served as principal at Julia Randall Elementary.  Her previous teaching and administrator experience was in the valley in the Kyrene School District. Linda received her teaching degree from Ottawa University and her Leadership Degree from Northern Arizona University. She grew up in Mesa and graduated from Mountain View High School. Linda is happy to be back in PUSD working with our school community. It’s a great day to be a Longhorn!

Principal's Secretary

Kelly has been with Payson Elementary since 2007. She started as a volunteer! She has had several positions in our district, including paraprofessional, volunteer coordinator, and attendance secretary. In 2011 she became the Principal’s secretary. She is the happy welcoming face that you see when you walk into PES!

Counselor

My wife and I have been married for 24 years and have lived in Payson for 19. We have 4 kids and all of them have had great experiences in Payson schools. All four of them started at PES and two have now graduated from PHS.

I have a Master’s degree in counseling from Regent University in Virginia Beach, a pretty but very hot city. Payson is so much better. I enjoy helping kids and assisting parents who are doing the difficult but rewarding work of raising children.
