As a new school year draws near at SS. Cyril & Methodius, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the dedicated faculty and staff who make our campus a true sanctuary to pray, learn, and grow together.

Guided by Christ’s love, our faculty and staff pour so much grace and joy into preparing their hearts for our students. Please join us in lifting them up in prayer and giving them a warm welcome back!

Last but certainly not least, we are so blessed to highlight our wonderful Principal, Mrs. Lilly Samaniego! 🍎✨

“I have been blessed to serve in Catholic education for more than 30 years in the Diocese of Corpus Christi, including the past 14 years as Principal of SS. Cyril & Methodius Catholic School.

The greatest joy of my ministry is watching our students pray, learn, and grow into future leaders of the Catholic Church and our community. Seeing them develop academically, spiritually, and morally is both a privilege and a blessing.

I am also incredibly grateful for our outstanding faculty and staff. Their dedication, passion, and commitment to our students make our school a special place. We work together as a team, united in fulfilling the mission and vision of SS. Cyril & Methodius Catholic School. I truly could not do this work without their partnership and unwavering support.
My family is my greatest blessing and my strongest source of encouragement. Throughout my years in Catholic education, they have stood beside me with love, patience, and a shared dedication to our school's ministry. Whether volunteering at school events or simply offering words of encouragement, their support has been invaluable. I am deeply thankful for each of them.

When I'm not at school, my favorite role is being "Glamma" to my precious grandbabies. They are my world and bring endless joy to my life. I also love preparing Sunday family dinners, where we gather around the table to share a meal, celebrate life's blessings, and support one another through both the good times and the challenges. Those moments together remind me of the importance of faith, family, and the many blessings God has given us.”

“My name is Santa. For the past five years, I’ve had the joy of serving as the cafeteria manager here at SSCM. There’s nothing quite like the bright, energetic atmosphere our students bring to the lunchroom every single day. Nourishing our school community and putting smiles on our students' faces is truly the best part of my day."
