Scott Wild, Principal
858.509.1000
Mr. Scott Wild is excited to join the Pacific Trails Middle School staff to serve as Principal.  Having lived in San Diego since 2002, Mr. Wild is originally from State College, PA.  After graduating from Penn State University, Mr. Wild taught high school English and coached soccer prior to moving to San Diego.  In San Diego, Scott served in the Poway Unified School District as an English teacher, ASB director, high school and middle school administrator.  In these roles he focused on strong instructional practices, inclusive school culture, and fostering spaces in which all students and staff feel that their school is a home away from home.  Away from work, Mr. Wild loves spending time with his family.  His wife of fourteen years, Angela, runs her own company.  Their children Avery and Dylan, along with their new puppy "Penny", make for a lively home.  In addition, Mr. Wild is an avid runner, golfer, sports fan and is currently pursuing his doctorate in educational leadership at UCSD.  Mr. Wild is humbled and grateful to lead Pacific Trails Middle School, and looks forward to partnering with students, parents and staff to serve each and every student as they learn and grow.
