Scott Hebert
Superintendent of Schools
352-726-1931

Growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania, Dr. Scott Hebert knew from a young age that he wanted to live in warm weather!  In the 1990’s, he and his wife Sarah moved to Citrus County, a small community that reflected the hometown and conversative values he learned as a child. 

He began his teaching career at Lecanto Middle School and has served as an elementary teacher, an assistant principal, principal, District Director of Elementary Education, Chief Academic Officer, and Assistant Superintendent before being elected Superintendent this year. 

In 1999, he earned the title of Citrus County Teacher of the Year and later that year was named the 1999 Florida’s Teacher of the Year.  As teacher of the year for the state, he was able to spend the next year traveling around the state as an ambassador for education.  In fact, he visited all 67 counties!

To say that education is his passion is an understatement. However, as an educator, he made sure to continue his own education over the years.  After graduating from Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania, he then earned a master’s degree, a Specialist Degree, and then his crowning achievement—a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Florida Southern College. 

In his current position as Superintendent of Citrus County Schools, he helps manage a $320 million dollar budget, 2,400 employees, and 16,000 students and is proud to serve in the capacity to support students, staff, families and the community.
