As we get closer to Thanksgiving, I am reminded of just how much we have to be thankful for here at Boerne High School. We have incredible teachers, supportive families, and students who continue to make us proud. It has truly been an honor to serve as your principal, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a special school community.
We are especially proud of our Lady Greyhounds volleyball team and their outstanding playoff run. Congratulations to Coach Lawrence and the entire team on a memorable season! We also look forward to celebrating several of our student-athletes this Wednesday at Athletic Signing Day in the gym as they take the next step in their athletic and academic journeys at the collegiate level. What an exciting accomplishment!
I also want to give a special shout-out to our fabulous PTO. So much of what they do happens behind the scenes, but their impact on our campus and our teachers is tremendous. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated group of parents who continually find ways to support our school. They are currently selling winter wear and have a window of time to sell. Please take a look at their items: https://boernepto.membershiptoolkit.com/
A quick reminder that Coffee with the Counselors is tomorrow! Stop by, grab a cup of coffee, and spend some time visiting with our counseling team. They would love the opportunity to get to know you!
We will be hosting a Veterans Day Ceremony for our juniors this year in the BHS Auditorium. Due to space limitations, we are unable to invite the entire campus, so we have chosen to focus on our junior class as many of our students begin considering their next steps in life and career.
Dr. Betz, one of our BHS teachers and a former member of the United States Air Force, will be sharing his experiences in the service and what it means to be a veteran. We are grateful for the opportunity to recognize and honor those who have served our country.
We also have many parents in our BHS family who have children attending our school and have served in the military. To each of you, thank you for your service and for taking the time to defend our country. Please know that your service does not go unnoticed. We are grateful for your sacrifice and your commitment to protecting our freedoms.
Parents are welcome to attend. The ceremony will take place from 1:55–2:25 p.m. in the BHS Auditorium.
I would also like to give a shout-out to Justin Hooter and Stacy Ebstyne for capturing the wonderful photos of our students featured in the Lead Dog!
As Thanksgiving approaches, I hope you find time to slow down, enjoy your family, and reflect on the many blessings around you. Thank you for being part of the Boerne High School family.
Go Greyhounds!
Matt Myers
Principal, Boerne High School

What a season for our Lady Greyhounds! While our playoff run came to an end Friday against Sharyland Pioneer, this team accomplished something special, advancing farther in the playoffs than any BHS volleyball team since 2015. We are incredibly proud of these young ladies, our coaches, and the countless hours of hard work, dedication, and commitment that made this season possible. Thank you for representing Boerne High School so well. You gave our BHS community plenty to cheer about!
Basketball:
Our Greyhound basketball teams are getting the season started! The boys continue to prepare with scrimmages as they gear up for their first official game on November 14 against Highlands.
The Lady Hounds are off to a great start, opening the season 1-0 with a win over O'Connor on Friday night. They are back in action Tuesday night against Clark at 6:30 p.m., followed by a matchup with Wall this Saturday at 2:00 p.m.
Best of luck to both teams this season! Go Greyhounds!
Football:
The Greyhounds capped off an incredible regular season with a 32-27 win over Legacy Ranch on Friday night, finishing a perfect 10-0! What a tremendous accomplishment for our players and coaches. The Hounds now turn their attention to the playoffs as they take on Breckenridge this Thursday at 7:00 PM. Best of luck, Hounds, as we kick off the playoff run!
26-27 FALL SEMESTER FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE
Students must take their exams with the teacher during their assigned class period. All semester
exams will be weighted at 15% of the semester grade. Students absent from a semester exam
must arrange with that teacher to make up the exam between January 8th and 9th. *Students
may NOT take exams early and must remain in class for the entire period.
From the Counselors...
We are officially in the final stretch of the semester! As we inch closer to the end of the first semester, it is important for students to stay focused, persevere, and remain intentional about their academic progress. Students- now is the time to attend tutorials, follow up with teachers, stay on top of assignments and due dates, and take advantage of every opportunity to improve. Remember, students need to earn a 70 or better to receive .5 credit in each class to successfully complete the first semester. With fewer than 12 class periods remaining in each course, every day and every assignment counts. Keep pushing, stay committed, and finish the semester strong, Greyhounds!
A Few Tips for Staying on Track:
Check your assignments daily and know what is due.
Use your planner, calendar, or school platform to keep track of upcoming deadlines.
Google Classroom links directly to the Google Calendar with links back to assignments.
Break larger assignments into smaller steps rather than waiting until the last minute.
Ask questions early if you don't understand an assignment or course material.
Take advantage of tutorials and teacher support.
Reach out for help if you are feeling overwhelmed.
Remember, Greyhounds, you don't have to figure everything out on your own! Your teachers, counselors, and support staff are here to help you get organized, stay on track, and have a successful year.
Small steps today can make a BIG difference tomorrow.

We want to help families navigate attendance and early release procedures smoothly this school year.
Early Release & Student Pick-Up
For safety reasons, student pick-up/sign-out ends at 3:30 PM (30 minutes before dismissal).
Parents/guardians or approved emergency contacts must present valid photo ID when checking out a student.
Only contacts listed in Skyward Family Access may pick up students.
Please allow time for the office to locate and retrieve your student from class.
Planned Early Releases
Submit early-release requests through the Skyward Attendance Notification Tile by 8:00 AM the day of dismissal, or preferably the day before.
Students should pick up their dismissal pass from the Attendance Office before school or during a class change.
Students must return to the Attendance Office at the designated time to complete the sign-out process and receive their Raptor pass.
Same-day appointments or emergencies: Please call the Attendance Office at 830-357-2206. Online requests are not continuously monitored.
Students Who Drive
Students who drive—or ride with a current BHS student who drives—must have a valid BHS parking permit. Otherwise, a parent/guardian must come into the Front Office to sign the student out.
Only seniors with an Off-Campus Lunch sticker may leave campus for lunch. All other students must be signed out by a parent/guardian.
If Your Student Becomes Sick
Students who feel ill should report to the school nurse. If the nurse sends the student home, the remainder of the day is excused. If a parent chooses to check out a student after the nurse determines they should remain at school, the absence is unexcused unless a parent note is provided.
Documenting Absences
Submit original excuse notes/documentation to the Attendance Office within 48 hours of the absence.
Parent excuses may also be submitted through the Skyward Attendance Notification Tile.
Medical, dental, court, DPS, college visit, and other documentation should be submitted in writing; emails are not accepted.
