The SCUC Community Advisory Committee (CAC) convened its fourth meeting at Samuel Clemens High School, continuing discussions on district facility needs on October 22, 2025. Comprising parents, business owners, and stakeholders, the CAC explored safety enhancements, such as replacing chain-link fences with harder-to-scale barriers, implementing master keys district-wide, and relocating parking to control building access. The meeting set the stage for a comparative tour of Byron P. Steele High School on November 12, highlighting disparities across campuses.
The 2016 Bond significantly upgraded Clemens’ Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Fine Arts programs. Amy Massey, CTE Director, showcased the 5,000+ square-foot culinary arts kitchen, operational since 2018, noting, “When they did the bond, they did this space right.” The J-wing, housing programs like Agriculture, STEM/Robotics, and a greenhouse, further demonstrated these advancements. However, Massey pointed out that Steele’s single cooking space pales in comparison to Clemens’ five, underscoring inequities.
Fine Arts also flourished post-2016 Bond, with the Performing Arts Center (PAC), modern choir rooms, and ample storage transforming Clemens’ program. Beth Bronk, SCUC Fine Arts Director, praised the PAC as a vast improvement over the “dark and dingy” old auditorium, and highlighted the district’s only dedicated Orchestra space at Clemens. CAC member Kimberly Steindorf remarked, “It’s interesting to see the differences of other schools and it’s great to see we are ahead in certain areas.”
Despite these gains, athletic facilities at Clemens and across SCUC lag behind. Athletic Director Scott Lehnhoff described the stadium’s cramped concessions as a “mosh pit,” with inadequate seating for 6A games and outdated 1966 lightpoles unfit for LED upgrades. The weight room, unchanged since Lehnhoff’s student days in the 1990s, and the mold-prone varsity locker room highlight the need for modernization. CAC member Melva Rivera Perez emphasized, “The priority should be our kids and providing them with the facilities that they need.”

On Wednesday & Thursday of this week, Samuel Clemens opened its doors, its programs, and its arms in welcome to 8th graders from Corbett Junior High School. The Class of 2030 interacted with current juniors & seniors to preview the campus, courses, and extracurriculars awaiting them at The Best High School in Texas™.
While AP English may not sound like fun & games, reviewing for an upcoming test was exactly that as students used numbered Jenga blocks to query one another.
Class of 2030 loading.
Welcomed next years freshmen class from Corbett and Dobie today at our MS tours. They were able to view all of what Clemens has to offer and we will continue to level up.

💪🏽HILL COUNTRY STRONG 💪🏽
Our goal is to raise $78,100, a number inspired by the zip codes of our Schertz (78154) and Cibolo (78108) communities. It may seem ambitious, but if each SCUCISD family contributes just $5, we will be well on our way to meeting this goal.
The theme for this effort is “Hill Country Strong: Every Home Deserves a Comeback.” Together, we can ensure these families experience the homecoming they deserve.
We will begin collecting at all home games and encourage you to share our flyer to help spread the word. The funds will be delivered following the Steele Homecoming game on October 31 and the Clemens Homecoming game on November 7, with some of student volunteers traveling to meet and encourage the families who will benefit.
Thank you for showing the strength of our SCUCISD community and for joining us in bringing hope and healing to our neighbors in the Hill Country.

A massive shout-out to Senior JROTC Cadet, Joseph Lendo, for earning the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout!

Leading a major Eagle Scout Service Project for the community.
Earning 21 Merit Badges (including tough ones like First Aid, Citizenship, and Personal Fitness).
Demonstrating Scout Spirit and holding leadership positions.
Our students are changing the world right here from Schertz, Texas. Congratulations Joseph!
