About Event

Schertz/Cibolo Samuel Clemens High School Alumni will be hosting a Clemens Memorial on Friday, June 7th at 7:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church on Aero Ave. in Schertz---to remember all known classmates that have passed away.

The idea originally began as a 10 year anniversary of the passing of Samantha Stritmatter, class of 2004 who passed away June 7, 2003. Jessica McNamara, class of 2004, wanted to remember her best friend by hosting a gathering of friends at the school. Posting it on Facebook entitled “Gone Too Soon”, grew beyond leaps and bounds and as word got out, it became a group memorial for “all” classes of Samuel Clemens and former Schertz/Cibolo High School since their inception.

Alumni Pam Sinclair (class of 1975), Lorelei Schufletowski (class of 1982), Dianna Fowler (class of 1979), Lorraine Ackermann Swinney (class of 1978) and Robert Lehnhoff (former coach/athletic director) – all pitched in and began researching to find those that have passed away and finding/scanning pictures for each of them (almost 500 classmates from the early 1960’s through 2013).

Beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the church, a slideshow will play while past & current Clemens Principals and faculty read those names of each classmate that is known to have passed away. Immediately following, all alumni, faculty and family are invited to go to Samuel Clemens High School to take a group photo and visit with one another.

Everyone is also invited to go to Schertz Pickrell Park after the event is over.

All Schertz/Cibolo Samuel Clemens alumni, faculty and families are invited to this memorial. Plans are being made to plant a tree at the school in memory of those that have gone too soon, as well as a scholarship in their memory.
