Summit Middle School

Welcome to 8th Grade Science! My name is Scott Graham and this will be my 15th year as an educator. The majority of those years have been teaching 8th grade science! I am very close to my family and have a new nephew born this past summer. I also have two nieces and they are very special to me. My favorite TV show is "Lost" which returns in January for the final season. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 1993 and always look forward to football and basketball season! This is my 3rd year to teach in Edmond and my 2nd year to teach at Summit. I enjoy working out and exercising in my spare time and always enjoy spending time with my family. I look forward to getting to know you and having a great year!
