Scott was a 1987 graduate of Negreet High School, attended Northwestern, and graduated from Southeastern. He worked several years at Baton Rouge Youth as a recreational therapist with group home adolescents. Scott then decided to pursue his passion of education and coaching. His first 2 years of teaching were at Glen Oaks Park Elem. with the remainder of his life teaching and coaching for nearly 20 years at DSJH. Coach Mayfield has touched an endless amount of lives, instilled many incredible values into young minds in addition to parents, friends, and colleagues.

He will forever be missed by all who knew him especially his wife of 22 years, Kristen Mayfield, and his children, Madeline & Mitchell. Our family has been wrapped with love by so many throughout this journey.

Sending prayers to the family and friends. Mr. Mayfield much such an impact on my viewpoints of school and life, and was most definitely the best teacher I’ve ever had. Rest easy Mr. Mayfield.
