Boerne - Samuel V Champion High School

Champion High School is an amazing school, allowing great sports programs and wonderful academics for the students. It is a place that parents would move so that their children can have a great high school career.

Both high schools in the Boerne School District are the kind of learning institutions that parents move their kids to in their 8th grade year so that they can guarantee a fantastic education, rigorous sport program, and overabundance of extra-curricular clubs and organizations. Students at Champion can choose from many classes to create a graduation plan with higher standards than the state itself. They offer us Dual credit courses through a local college, AP classes, Pre-AP classes, and regular classes. For electives we have an extraordinary art program that ranges from painting and sculpting to photography and jewelry-making classes, as well as a fine arts program that includes orchestra, and state recognized band and choir. Our athletic department is decorated with District, Regional, State, and even National titles. The classes aren t overcrowded, and the administration? Well, our principal was recognized as the best principal in our region in 2008 so .

Champion should be much more! However, it has been micromanaged by the administration. This year, 2009, the classes are chaotic and over flowing. Even the best students are frustrated by the lack of planning and logistics. Teachers are very upset and at their wits' end as a result of the chaos and lack of planning. Successes of kids will be in large measure because most come from two parent stable families with an excellent economic base. Glad my daughter will be out this year! It's only going to go downhill further. Board failed to plan financially and don't have resources to secure enough teachers. Doubtful voters will support another tax increase.
