Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 (PCSD 25) is pleased to announce the selection of Scott Eldredge as the Principal of Ellis Elementary School. Eldredge is replacing current Principal, Denise Lane.
Scott Eldredge, born in Pocatello, graduated from Century High School in 2005. He pursued higher education at Idaho State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education in 2011, followed by a Master’s in Athletic Administration in 2014 and principal’s endorsement in 2023.
Scott started teaching science at Century High School in 2011. Apart from teaching, he is also a football coach, a member of the Building Leadership Team (BLT), chairs the Response to Intervention committee, and contributes to the biology unit development team.
