About Ward Scott

WarthogWard Scott, sometimes known as “The Warthog” has been a major force in public service in Alachua County for many years. Ward has freely given a large amount of his time for the betterment of our community.

Retired from the classroom after forty years as a Santa Fe College English Professor Emeritus, Ward says, “I am a teacher by trade. “I approach being a talk show host as I would a classroom. Using a storytelling form of narrative, I present local, state, national, and international issues in a way that engages the audience and makes them want to think about the subject. Making people think is the way of a teacher. You hear us say, "The truth is out there." Helping people see the truth is my first goal.

Ward Scott received his BA degree in 1966 from the University of Florida and an M. Ed. In 1969.
