Our middle school students had the privilege of welcoming Joseph and Cynthia Maurer to campus for the unveiling of the newly named Maurer Center for Science and Engineering. This building was decades in the making of a vision many hoped for, prayed for, and at times wondered if they would ever see become reality. Through extraordinary generosity, including that of the Maurer’s, those hopes became something our students now walk into every day.
And what has happened since its doors opened has exceeded what many could have imagined.
Then again… God.
Today, the Maurer Center for Science and Engineering is alive with learning, creativity, competition, discovery and opportunity. It is home to our growing STREAM program, expanded middle school classrooms, an enhanced art studio serving students across grade levels, and a dynamic multi-purpose athletics and community space including the home of our 2025 Battle for the Shield Championship Basketball Team and of our 2026 undefeated (11–0) Conference Championship Soccer Team.
Years ago, the vision for this Center was that it would be an academic game changer, preparing students not simply for high school or college, but equipping them to become leaders in whatever fields God may call them to pursue. Today, we get to watch that vision unfold. A building is brick, steel, and concrete. What happens inside of it is the legacy.
To Joseph and Cynthia Maurer, and to every donor whose generosity helped turn a long-held vision into a place where STC students can learn, create, compete, discover and grow: THANK YOU!
We are honored that generations of students will walk through the doors of the Maurer Center for Science and Engineering and even more grateful for what they will carry with them when they walk back out.
Deo Gratias.
