SMALL DISTRICT WINNER

-

BOERNE ISD

Boerne, Texas “I’ve always been proud of our teachers, our parents, and our students, but I have been absolutely amazed at what they have been able to accomplish the last two months; they have pulled together, they have made sure — working with our community and our school board — that our students are safe, and that education is continuing.” – Dr. Thomas Price, Boerne ISD Superinten­dent Boerne ISD believes in continuous improvemen­t and inclusivit­y.

One of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas, Boerne ISD is the largest employer in the community located 30 miles northwest of

San Antonio with more than 1,000 faculty and staff. With nearly 10,000 students enrolled in its 12 schools, Boerne ISD utilizes vertically aligned classroom instructio­n, a rigorous written curriculum, national best practices, lesson frames to bridge written curriculum to instructio­n, and district-wide collaborat­ion to help all students achieve success.

While consistent­ly receiving an “A” state accountabi­lity rating, success in Boerne ISD looks different depending on each student. The district’s dynamic curriculum integrates technology and socialemot­ional life skills, providing ample opportunit­ies for students to practice navigating challenges in real life environmen­ts both inside and outside the classroom.

The district believes in helping students build resiliency by focusing on the whole child while providing the academic and emotional support for students to be successful in school and in life after they graduate.
