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.

Our library just got an upgrade!

We’re excited to introduce pedal desks—a fun and innovative way for students to stay active while they read, study, or work on assignments. Movement helps boost focus, memory, and overall engagement in learning, and these desks are the perfect blend of exercise and academics.

Even Superintendent Paige Meloni and Communications Director Deanna Jackson gave them a test ride during a recent visit—and we think they approve!

We look forward to seeing how students use them to make learning even more enjoyable!

Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It’s a time to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans throughout history and today. A great way to celebrate is by reading books like "All Different Now: Juneteenth, the First Day of Freedom" by Angela Johnson — a beautifully illustrated book that captures the significance of this day through the eyes of a child.
