It’s School Lunch Hero Day!

Huge thanks to our dedicated food service team for everything they do behind the scenes. They don't just serve meals; they serve kindness and nutrition every single day.

We appreciate you!

It’s School Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we couldn't let April 28th pass without recognizing the incredible team that keeps our students moving. Whether they are navigating the morning routes or driving our teams and clubs to late-night events, our drivers are the heartbeat of our daily operations. To every driver, coach, and staff member behind the wheel, thank you for your dedication and for keeping our kids safe every single mile!

A $1,000 check presentation was made to the Interact Club at Byron P. Steele on April 9, 2026 in the campus library, courtesy of the Randolph Metrocom Rotary Club. The donation recognized Interact Club students who volunteered at the Rotary Club’s Hearts for Heroes in Education Gala on February 14, 2026 to benefit the SCUC Education Foundation. Randolph Metrocom later presented the Education Foundation with the $12,000 proceeds from the gala in March.

“We appreciated the job you did at the gala,” said Jason Barger, Rotary Club president, addressing the students in attendance at the early morning club meeting.. “You acted with such dignity and the way you presented yourself and worked hard - people commented on it and our club recognized it.”

Barger was joined in the presentation by fellow Rotary Club members Mark Moody, Fredy Degollado, Cheri Armstrong and Daniel Ortiz. SCUC Superintendent of Schools Paige Meloni and Justin Linthicum, Steele HS principal, were also on hand to extend their gratitude in the partnership with Randolph Metrocom.

Barger hopes to continue the strong relationship between Randolph Metrocom and the Steele Interact Club in the future - an acknowledgement of the stellar work from students past and present. “The money we’re giving is to help you,” he said. “It gives you a base and helps the club grow in the future as well.”

This week is National Assistant Principals Week, and we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the incredible leaders who keep our school running smoothly.

Thank you for your tireless dedication to our students, your support for our teachers, and the positive energy you bring to our hallways every single day. We are so lucky to have you on our leadership team!

This past Saturday, these kiddos and the amazing Mrs. Martinez picked up trash along 1103. They filled SEVENTEEN large bags! Well done, Knights! If your student is looking to get involved with awesome Knights that give back to the community, Key Club is the club to join! ⚔️⚔️⚔️

It’s “Mix It Up” day at lunches today! Teenagers being “kids” is always special to see. We are grateful to have some of the best young humans in the state walking our halls. Thank you, Stuco and FCCLA! ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Behind the Scenes: Steele lead counselor, Ms. Sanchez, recently facilitated a small group guidance lesson with the “Men of Steele,” and today, with the support of her team, those same student-athletes took the lead in sharing that lesson with their brothers on the Steele Knight Football Team. Watching students step up to lead, support one another, and openly discuss the importance of mental health in sports was truly powerful. Moments like this serve as a meaningful reminder of why this work matters so deeply. Ms. Sanchez and the counseling team send a heartfelt thank you to the Steele Football coaches for recognizing and supporting the importance of mental health in student-athletes. Together, they are helping build stronger, more resilient young men—both on and off the field. ⚔️⚔️⚔️

Please join us in celebrating the Top 20 students of the Class of 2026 at Byron P. Steele High School!

Their achievements reflect not only academic distinction, but also leadership, service, character, and heart. We are incredibly proud of the example they set for our entire campus community. The future is bright because of students like these. Please join us in congratulating our Top 20 Seniors! (Out of a class of over 715!) #BeTheStandard ⚔️⚔️⚔️
