💙💛 School Board Member Spotlight | Tim Lowery 💛💙
Meet Tim Lowery, our School Board President, currently serving in his 7th year on the board. Tim felt a calling to get involved in his community—especially knowing the decisions made would directly impact his son, now a junior, and countless other students in our halls.
Tim takes great pride in our school district and values being part of a board that keeps the focus where it belongs: on kids. From passing the bond and seeing meaningful upgrades across the district to navigating tough, behind-the-scenes decisions, he’s witnessed the heart and dedication it takes to always do what’s best for students.
What stands out most to Tim is the commitment of our entire team—from teachers and administrators to tech and maintenance staff—who are constantly working to improve the student experience. And while he loves the passion behind all school events, he admits he’s a sports guy at heart, especially when the gyms and fields are filled with community members cheering on our teams 🏀⚽️⚾️
A proud transplant to Scott City, Tim says he was welcomed with open arms and will forever be a Proud Ram. His message is simple and powerful: educating the future members of our communities is a responsibility we cannot afford to fail. It starts in our classrooms and halls every single day.
"Great to be a Ram". 💙💛🐏 #SCWeR1
