This morning, our Varsity Football players and Comet Man visited our younger Comets to spread school spirit and start the day with smiles and Comet Pride. Tonight, the Comets take on Berea-Midpark in our brand-new Spitzer Stadium — we invite everyone to come out and join the excitement! See more game day information below.

Fist Bump Friday - Game Day Edition
Spitzer Stadium Dedication – Come Join Us!
Join us TONIGHT as the Comets take on Berea-Midpark in our brand-new Spitzer Stadium! The evening will begin with a special dedication ceremony at 6:40 p.m., just before kickoff. We are grateful for our partnership with Spitzer Chevy in Amherst, whose support has made this exciting new chapter possible for our students, athletes, and community.
Arrive early to allow time for parking, finding your seat, and exploring the new stadium. The Amherst Quarterback Club will have Comet Corner set up so you can stock up on spirit gear for the season. From the Marching Comets’ pregame performance to the first snap under the Friday night lights, it’s a night you won’t want to miss at Spitzer Stadium!
Purchase your pregame tickets by clicking here, and be sure to check out the important times listed to the right.
New Tennis & Pickleball Courts Open!
The new courts are now open for community use! During the school day, please park on the surrounding streets and be respectful of our neighbors’ yards. After school, parking is available in the Steele South Lot (after 2:45 PM) or Nord Lot (after 4:15 PM), when no matches are in progress. We look forward to our community enjoying these exciting new improvements!
JVS Transportation Notice – September 19
On Friday, September 19, there will be no school for Amherst School District students; however, JVS classes will still be in session. Transportation for JVS students will continue as usual, with our two JVS buses running in the morning and afternoon from and to Steele. JVS buses will leave Steele High School at 7:10 am going out to JVS and the buses will return to Steele from JVS between 2:40 pm-2:45 pm.
Due to the safety drill, regular route buses will not be available to bring students to Steele in the morning to transfer to the JVS buses or return them to their neighborhood bus stops in the afternoon. Transportation staff and buses will be participating in the safety drill. Therefore, JVS students will need to be dropped off and picked up directly at Steele on September 19.
