A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL...
Students, Parents, Faculty, and Staff,
As we approach our Thanksgiving Break next week, let's be thankful. I am thankful and grateful I was chosen to be the Principal of Boerne HS. People ask me how it is to be the Principal at Boerne HS?... my response, everytime, is if I had to do it anywhere, there is no doubt Boerne HS is the place to be. Why? Well, let me continue on what I am thankful for: I'm thankful for our top notch, hard working students, our outstanding, caring staff, and our supportive parents and community. Last, but not least, I am thankful for my wife and two daughters who have been right by me in this journey, my rock, my calmness, my laughter, my humility, my path.
Please take time this break to be thankful, rest, and recharge. We all need it and deserve it.
Shane Wilson
Boerne HS
Principal
