October is Principals’ Month—a time to honor the dedicated leaders at SCUC who serve as the heart of our schools. Principals are more than administrators; they are mentors, motivators, and visionaries who shape the culture of learning and growth on their campuses. They are multipliers of excellence, change and continuous improvement. Additionally, their leadership fosters safe, inclusive environments where students thrive and teachers feel supported. Principals help build the foundation for academic success and personal development.

The work of a principal often begins before the first bell rings and continues long after the last student leaves. They memorize student names. They attend every athletic event, PTC meeting, every science fair and every concert.
They manage budgets, hire and guide staff, oversee operations, and respond to the needs of students and families—all while maintaining high standards for teaching and learning. Their days can be filled with countless challenges and responsibilities - yet they show up with resilience, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to their school community.

As SCUC celebrates Principals’ Month, let us recognize the incredible impact these leaders have—both seen and unseen. Their dedication shapes futures, strengthens communities, and inspires excellence in every corner of the school. Please take a moment to thank the individuals who lead with heart and purpose, help make our district THE destination district for the SCUC community.

The athletic training staff at Samuel Clemens High School and Bryon P. Steele High School was recognized by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine on September 26, 2025 prior to the annual Battle of 3009 between the two schools. It was part of the Student Training Program Spotlight - celebrating the hard work and dedication of the student athletic trainers across the San Antonio-area.

These students exemplify commitment, professionalism and teamwork, ensuring their respective athletes are prepared and supported both on and off the field.

Representatives from Dave Campbell’s Texas Football and University Health were on hand to celebrate the two staffs, presenting each program with a $500 check for their continued excellence and impact within their athletic communities.

The Clemens HS student trainers are under the direction of Crystal Saunders and Marissa Rios. Diedra Schwertner and Kley Culberson lead the student training staff at Steele HS.
