Senior Spotlight: Rylie Scott

Rylie Scott – Class of 2026
North Callaway High School | Kingdom City, MO

There’s a joy and warmth about Rylie Scott that comes through the moment you meet her. As a Class of 2026 senior at North Callaway, she’s stepping confidently toward her future with a heart for helping others and a vision that’s already taking shape.

Rylie plans to attend a four-year college after graduation, where she’ll major in Elementary Education. It’s a path that perfectly aligns with her encouraging spirit and her desire to make a difference in the lives of younger students. She’s already building a strong foundation for that future, both in and out of the classroom.

Some of her favorite high school memories come from moments of connection and fun—whether it was the excitement of Powder Puff or the chance to serve others through National Honor Society.

“As a member of National Honor Society, we hosted a middle school dance—and it was so much fun!”

But Rylie didn’t just create memories; she created opportunities for herself as well. She pushed herself academically, taking a challenging load of dual enrollment classes.

“I took a lot of dual enrollment classes and will potentially be going into college as a sophomore with 30 college credits!”

Her dedication and discipline speak volumes about her work ethic and her excitement for the future.

Behind that determination stands a strong support system. Rylie is quick to share how deeply grateful she is for the people who have lifted her up along the way.

“My parents have been a big support to me. Even when I would struggle, they would pick me up and tell me to keep going and that it gets better. They’re also supportive of my future goals, and I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be more thankful for my parents!!!”

Her faith has been just as important:

“My relationship with Christ has given me strength, reassurance, and guidance when I need it most.”

That combination—family, faith, and personal drive—has shaped her into the young woman she is today.As she looks back on her high school years, Rylie has a message for those just beginning their journey:

“Enjoy high school while you can. You only go through it once, so make memories you’ll cherish—and don’t be afraid to get involved!!!”

Rylie brings light, enthusiasm, and purpose to everything she does. It was a joy to capture this milestone in her life, and there’s no doubt she’s heading toward a future filled with impact, growth, and meaningful moments.
