In 2022, Boerne ISD residents approved two bond propositions focused on district improvements, a new aquatic center and other facility upgrades.
Three years after the bond approval, the majority of the projects have been completed on time and under budget, District Communications Director Maggie Dominguez said. Aside from finishing touches, one of the only major bond projects left to be completed is the construction of the Aquatic Learning Center.
At the start of the 2025-26 school year, students have the advantage of expanded high school facilities that house Career and Technical Education, or CTE, courses. Chief Instructional Officer Larissa Flores said these programs help provide pathways for students who may not pursue a traditional college education.
“It keeps kids interested in what they love and what they want to do, and it helps keep kids engaged in the subject they might not always want to be engaged in,” she said.
The overview: Campus improvement projects in the 2022 bond included expansions at both district high schools, increasing the number of classrooms and space for programs.

Great Springs Project CEO Garry Merritt said the goal of a projected 100-mile trail system that will run continuously from Austin to San Antonio is to protect the area’s natural waters and improve the quality of life for residents, according to previous reporting.
With that aim in mind, GSP is partnering with the Texas Department of Transportation to administer a Trails Corridor Study, which will identify priorities for each component of the trail.
Mapping it out: There are three different surveys: one that asks what residents would like to see on the trails, another that focuses on which trails are a priority and one to identify how the trails will be used.
