  • Planning your arrival at Boerne ISD

      • If the assignment from which you are departing was outside of Texas, we encourage you to visit the Texas Department of Education Military Families page, which provides information on rights and resources as you move your family here to the Lone Star State and the Texas Hill Country.

    To determine which Boerne ISD Campus your child should attend, please see our Attendance Zones.

    We encourage you to visit your campus's website, where you will find school-specific information.

    You may also wish to contact your military installation’s School Liaison Officer for personal and site-specific assistance.
