Boerne High School, home of the Greyhounds, serves the northern portion of the district while Samuel V. Champion High School, home of the Chargers, serves the southern portion. Both are comprehensive high schools offering AP courses, dual credit programs with local colleges, career and technical education pathways, and competitive extracurriculars. Boerne High School has historic state championships in football and track. Champion is newer with state-of-the-art facilities and growing programs.
Enrollment Process
To enroll, you will need proof of residency such as utility bill or lease, student birth certificate, immunization records, previous school records, and parent identification. New student registration can be started online at boerneisd.net. The district offers registration events before each school year and accepts new students year-round. For transfers from out of state, Texas requires certain immunizations that your current state may not, so check requirements early.
