TAYLOR MILL, Ky. — The principal of Scott High School, who was seen in a video holding a beer bong for two underage students, has resigned, according to Jessica Dykes with the Kenton County School District.

The video was recorded during a 2023 New Year's Eve party, when the Kenton County Police Department said 50-year-old Anthony Procaccino was the principal of White's Tower Elementary at the time.

Procaccino served as principal at White's Tower for 10 years before becoming principal at Scott High School.

He was placed on leave in October after police obtained videos of him serving alcohol to two underage teenagers at his home in Independence. The parents of the two underage students in the videos were contacted.

A spokesperson for the Kenton County School District previously told WCPO, "This is a personnel matter. We are cooperating with police, and Cody Wolf, an assistant principal at Scott High School, has been named the interim principal at this time."

Procaccino is scheduled for a diversion hearing on Wednesday, Jan. 15. He is charged with two counts of aiding or assisting in serving alcohol to minors.
