During the Regular Board Meeting of the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District (ISD) on April 17, 2025, significant recognition was given to students and programs that highlight the district's commitment to academic excellence and community values.

The meeting commenced with the acknowledgment of the Student Representatives for April, featuring students from both Byron P. Steele High School and Clements High School.
