About SCUCISD
The Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District is nestled at the foot of the Texas Hill Country about 20 miles northeast of San Antonio. SCUCISD services the needs of nearly 11,000 children who live in a 73-square mile area that includes both Bexar and Guadalupe Counties. Students come from Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Selma, St. Hedwig, and occasionally Randolph Air Force Base.
Once a rural district with a mostly military influence, growth and development are rapidly changing the landscape. The district has experienced a steady increase in student enrollment since the mid-1980s.
The district is currently home to seven elementary schools, two intermediate schools that house the district’s fifth and sixth graders, and two junior high schools. In 2005, the district opened its second high school, Byron P. Steele II High School. Steele High School joins the prestigious ranks of Samuel Clemens High School with
its commitment to solid education by preparing the ninth through twelfth graders to go on to college or enter the workforce.
The Allison L. Steele Enhanced Learning Center offers ninth through twelfth graders a chance to get a diploma in a self-paced environment. Using the Boys Town and the Character Counts models, the Cibolo Center offers students an alternate place to learn while sharpening their discipline skills.
Under the 2006 Bond Program, the district will open five new schools between August 2008 and August 2009 to address growth and equity. John A. Sippel Elementary opened in August 2008 in Schertz, along with the replacement campus of O.G. Wiederstein Elementary in Cibolo.
The replacement campus for Schertz Elementary is tentatively set to open in the spring of 2009. In August 2009, SCUCISD will open the replacement campus for Ray D. Corbett Jr. High School in Schertz and the new Elaine S. Schlather Intermediate School in Cibolo.
SCUCISD continues to be one of the highest-paying school districts in the state and strives to provide a safe and challenging learning environment for the students it serves.
