SCUC ISD Education Foundation

Double Your Impact for SCUC ISD Classrooms!

SCUC ISD educators have begun submitting DonorsChoose projects for resources and learning opportunities that can make a difference for students.
Through the SCUC Education Foundation’s Teach Forward Fund, every donation to a qualifying SCUC ISD project will be matched dollar for dollar, helping educators reach their funding goals twice as fast.

Families, alumni, businesses and community members can help by donating to a project or sharing it with others. Every gift, regardless of size, can help bring more books, classroom materials, STEM resources and hands-on learning opportunities to SCUC students.

Welcome to the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD (SCUCISD) Family!

A new school year means new faces, new classrooms, and countless new opportunities to make a difference.

The SCUC Education Foundation was honored to welcome many of SCUC ISD's newest educators at this year's Inspire Academy Reception.

Because we believe every teacher deserves a strong start, each new educator in attendance received an Amazon gift card from the Foundation to help prepare for the exciting year ahead.

Welcome to the SCUC ISD family—we're so glad you're here!

🌟 Alumni Spotlight: Maddie Riney, Class of 2016 🌟

From Samuel Clemens High School to owning her own event planning business, Maddie Riney followed her passion for creating meaningful experiences and now helps clients celebrate some of life's biggest moments through Moments by Maddie.

After earning her degree from Tarleton State University and beginning her career in Human Resources with the U.S. Air Force, Maddie discovered that event planning was the perfect way to combine her leadership, organization, and love for bringing people together. Today, she's living that passion as a full-time business owner.

Her advice for current students?

"Get involved in everything you can—join clubs, attend events, and build connections. You never know when those relationships will come full circle."

We're proud to celebrate Maddie and the many SCUC alumni making a difference in their communities and careers.
