Dr. Henry Saylor-Scheetz

Hello Wolf Families,

My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Washington State University, where I served as Chief Justice of the WSU Judicial Committee. I later earned a Master’s in Teaching from Concordia University in Portland, Oregon, followed by an administrative certification from Lewis and Clark College. In 2021, I completed my Ph.D. in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from Grand Canyon University.

Before entering education, I spent over 20 years as a jeweler, managed operations within a Fortune 500 company, and ran my own business. My journey into education began as a football coach and high school mathematics teacher. After moving to Arizona in 2010, I joined Chandler Unified as a junior high math teacher and coach. In 2013, I stepped into leadership as Dean of Students and Athletic Director.

In 2015, I joined the Florence Unified School District as an assistant principal at Poston Butte High School. The following year, I transitioned to San Tan Heights as assistant principal and athletic director during the district consolidation. For the past five years, I’ve had the incredible honor of serving as the principal of San Tan Heights K–8. It has been a time of tremendous growth, collaboration, and shared success with our students, staff, and families.

Now, I’m thrilled to begin a new chapter as the very first principal of San Tan Mountain Middle School, one of our district’s newest campuses. I’m honored to help shape its culture from the ground up and to continue building strong, student-centered systems that foster excellence, innovation, and community.

As an educator, I believe deeply in the power of relationships to foster academic achievement. My philosophy centers on the belief that when we prioritize students and support teachers with the right tools, training, and encouragement, we create schools where children feel safe, valued, and challenged. I am passionate about building learning communities where mistakes are embraced as part of the process and critical thinking is at the heart of every classroom. This aligns closely with FUSD’s “Kids First” motto, which continues to inspire and guide my work.

I’m honored to continue serving our incredible community and look forward to what lies ahead at San Tan Mountain.

Warm regards,

Dr. Henry Saylor-Scheetz

Greetings San Tan Mountain Wolves!

What an amazing opportunity to be the Assistant Principal of San Tan Mountain Middle School!! I am thrilled and honored to have the privilege of working with such amazing students and families.

A native of Wisconsin, I have taught over 20 years in various Arizona Public Schools. Spending the majority of my career in 4th and 5th grade, I have also taught 3rd and 6th grade in addition to serving as an Academic Coach.

I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Maranatha Baptist University in 1999. Earning my first Master’s Degree in Education in 2006 from NAU, I completed a second Master’s Degree In Educational Leadership in 2016 from University of Phoenix.

In 2006, I had the honor of Representing Arizona as the Rural Educator of the Year. That title afforded me the opportunity to serve on the Arizona Rural Educator’s Board and on an educator’s panel comprised by the Arizona Superintendent of Education.

I sincerely believe that education is a lifestyle rather than a career. It is my desire to foster a learning environment that engages and challenges students to become critical thinkers and problem solvers. I value relationships among teachers, administrators, students, and families. I sincerely look forward to getting to know the families of San Tan Mountain Middle School and learning how I can best serve this community.

Dear Wolves Families,

I am honored to serve as the Academic Intervention Specialist at San Tan Mountain Middle School. Since beginning my career in education in 2006, I have taught at the elementary and middle school level and served in a variety of leadership roles, including assistant principal, principal, and most recently, district ELA Instructional Coach. Each of these experiences has shaped my belief that strong instructional support and targeted interventions can transform student outcomes. I was proud to be recognized as Leader of the Year, an honor that reflects my dedication to fostering growth and excellence in school communities.

I hold a master's degree in Education from Northern Arizona University and a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Long Beach. My passion lies in helping both students and teachers thrive. Whether I’m working alongside educators to strengthen instructional practices or supporting students in building their academic confidence, I am committed to ensuring that all learners have the tools and support they need to succeed.

I am excited to be part of the San Tan Mountain Middle School team and look forward to contributing to a culture of collaboration, growth, and academic excellence.
