Byron P. Steele II High School

Somber observances of the September 11, 2001 attacks were held at various SCUC campuses in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 people who perished that fateful day. Samuel Clemens High School and Byron P. Steele High School held their respective observances - both led by the school’s JROTC cadets with assistance from the band and choir.

Paschal Elementary School also held its yearly observance, with student-led speeches and songs of hope and unity.

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.
