State Silver Medalists

We congratulated the 2022 UIL Class 4A State Silver medalist Boerne Greyhounds Football Team!


The Greyhounds had an outstanding and historic 2022 Football season, as they won the most football games in BISD history, finishing with a 15-1 record.


Boerne won the district championship for the third straight season, outscoring their opponents by a combined score of 223-31.


The Greyhounds won five playoff games and became the first BISD football team ever to advance to the State Championship Game.


In the playoffs, Boerne dominated their opponents, scoring over 50 points twice, as well as posting two shutouts.


The Greyhounds shutout Tyler Chapel Hill 35-0 in the state semifinals, before falling to China Spring in the State Championship game.


The Greyhounds brought Boerne and the surrounding communities together during their historic state playoff run.

We recognized two Boerne ISD Musicians who have been named All-State in Band.


Champion High School Senior Ethan Ratliff made the Texas Music Educators Association All-State Band, while Boerne High School Senior Connor West was named to the Association of Texas Small School Bands All-State squad.


Ethan is the first musician in Champion history to make All-State three times while Connor made All-State for the second year in a row.

  • Dr. Price thanked the Board as part of School Board Recognition Month. He stated that BISD wouldn't be one of the best school districts in the state without the leadership of our Board.


  • Many students who participated in the 2023 Kendall County Jr. Livestock Show wouldn't have been able to participate in that event if it weren't for the new Boerne ISD Ag Barn.


  • Carson Williams, Boerne HS Senior, sold his animal at the Jr. Livestock show for over $84,000 and received an additional scholarship for $10,000 which he will use to attend college.


  • We surprised our 2023 Teacher, Rookie, and Support Staff of the Year winners at their campuses. Please click here for the full list of winners. We will announce the district-wide winners in March.


  • Boerne ISD's enrollment has increased to over 10,800 students.
