Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City

It was a great day for the annual cultural exchange between SCUC and the students from Vejen Business College in Denmark ! This year the students from Vejen (pronounced Vine) visited Bryon P. Steele High School on August 29, 2025, which rolled out the red carpet for its guests.

They were treated to breakfast, courtesy of the school's Culinary Arts students, and were greeted warmly by principal Justin Linthicum as well as Paige Meloni, SCUC Superintendent of Schools, who acknowledged the richness of the annual visits, which commenced in 2015.

Led by student leaders at Steele HS, the visiting delegation made stops throughout campus, including athletic facilities, robotics, welding, American Sign Language classes, Honors Spanish and JROTC. The visit culminated with a question and answer session between students of both schools, which included topics of culture, food and politics.

Before the Vejen group's departure, they met and mingled with Steele students and posed for photographs. Our Danish friends attended the Samuel Clemens High School varsity football game later that evening at Lehnhoff Stadium.

A huge thanks to Justin Linthicum, his staff and students for undertaking today's efforts and making our guests feel at home! Kudos as well to Kacy Debney, science teacher at Clemens High School, for making our guests feel at home at the football game.

Notebooks, pencils, crayons, glue sticks, index cards and a potpourri of more school supplies were donated to two SCUC campuses by the Randolph Area Christian Assistance Program (RACAP) on August 28, 2025. Primarily a food and clothing ministry, RACAP reached out to the school district to donate excess school supplies instead of holding on to them for the next school year. 

Geri Pope, principal at Schertz Elementary School, and Steven Piles, principal at Watts Elementary School, were on hand to receive the boxes of supplies from Lisa Loftus, Program Director for the non-profit organization. They expressed their gratitude for the donation, as was Paige Meloni, Superintendent of Schools, who expressed her heartfelt gratitude to one of SCUC’s most valued partners.

RACAP, through the generosity of area churches, civic organizations, businesses and individuals, helps meet the needs of families in crisis with food and a limited amount of financial assistance with flexibility and compassion.

Economically disadvantaged families dealing at SCUC may also access the district’s pantry, located behind the Allison L. Steele Enhanced Learning Center. The pantry is always well-stocked with canned goods and non-perishable foods, thanks to the assistance of students in the SCUC 18+ Adult Transition Program, who bring their cheerful presence and service to help store diapers, personal hygiene products and school supplies.

SCUC would like to express its gratitude to RACAP and other area organizations and businesses which help ensure every student has the resources needed to thrive.

From Around The District: Cross-Country is off and RUNNING and the Steele runners crushed it! Congrats to Kassia Kozarski on a 4th place finish out of over 135 runners! Well done, Knights!

From Around the District: Clemens Culinary Arts Class, led by Ms. Tharp, learned about food trends today and then created gourmet shakes and trendy Wendy's Frosty's. From knowledge to creation, Clemens Culinary is making happy taste buds, one shake at a time.
