October is National Principals Month, and we are so proud to celebrate our very own leader, Mrs. Windi Hughes!

Mrs. Hughes leads the Dobie Cougars with grace, poise, and unwavering dedication. She is a true listener—always supportive of both staff and students—and never hesitates to fight for what is right. As the ultimate cheerleader of our Cougar family, she inspires us daily to grow, achieve, and believe in ourselves.

Happy Principals Month, Mrs. Hughes! May this year bring you as much encouragement, joy, and success as you continue to bring to Dobie every single day.

Custodian appreciation

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.
