In 1878, William J. Scott donated the property on which Scott Elementary is now housed to Atlanta Public Schools.  He was a Methodist minister who ministered to Georgians in many different areas of the state.  He died on May 2, 1899.  He made the donation of land because of his strong desire to advocate for children's education.  Since that donation, William J. Scott has continued to advocate the rights of all the students that enroll in this outstanding establishment.
