What Schulenburg Secondary does

Schulenburg ISD is a public K-12 school district organized as a political subdivision of the State of Texas, headquartered at 401 Bucek Street, Schulenburg, Texas. The district operates three campuses — Elementary (K-5, 300 Bucek Street), Junior High (grades 6-8, 501 College Street), and High School (grades 9-12, 503 College Street) — plus a shared special education cooperative office (104 Shorthorn Drive). Schulenburg Secondary School, the subject of this record, serves grades 6-12 and houses the district's Shorthorns athletic programs and Shorthorn Marching Band. The district provides comprehensive Texas TEKS-aligned instruction, Career Technical Education pathways (Agriculture Technology Mechanical Systems, Food Science and Technology, FFA), dual credit coursework via an interlocal agreement with Blinn College, and a suite of wraparound services including counseling, nursing, gifted and talented, ESL, dyslexia/RtI/Section 504, special education through the Fayette County Shared Services Arrangement, and McKinney-Vento homeless assistance.

The technology stack is conventional K-12 EdTech rather than proprietary or AI-driven: ParentSquare for parent communications (replacing Remind), Ascender for student information with Parent Portal grade access, ClassLink for single sign-on, GoGuardian for web filtering and student safety, Eduphoria for assessment, Frontline for operations and help desk, and a library system with subscriptions to Britannica, EBSCO, Gale Cengage, Newsbank, and Renaissance Learning's Accelerated Reader. The district maintains a ~7,800-volume secondary library with 25 computer workstations.

Schulenburg ISD operates under the Community Eligibility Program, providing free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students without per-student application. Funding flows from local property taxes, Texas state education appropriations, and federal grants including ESSER III. The district is governed by an elected Board of Trustees with the Superintendent (Lee Hafley) serving as chief executive; operations are led by an on-site administrative team including a Secondary School Principal (Callene Zapalac), Director of Safety & Security (Cliff Hill), Director of Special Education (Brittany Bigham), Network/Systems Administrator (Nick Sanchez), counselors (Allison Machac, Heather Pavlu, Ashley De La Garza), and a small instructional support staff spanning interventions, ESL, and gifted/talented coordination.
