to an administrative central office complex, the
district also has a modern support facility which is the
home to our transportation, maintenance, and food
service departments.

eastern half of Bandera County which includes a number

Curriculum and Extra-Curricular Activities
-
Bandera ISD schools offer a comprehensive, well-balanced
standard curriculum as well as programs in vocational,
bilingual, gifted and talented, special education, and
at-risk categories. It is the District’s philosophy that
each child is entitled to the very best education
possible, and every child is provided every opportunity
to succeed academically. The teamwork among
student-teacher-parent is the vital key to attaining
this success.
-
The
Middle School and High School provide a sports program
geared to teaching the students the many values of
athletics. Our athletic programs go beyond the basics of
winning and losing. Participants in athletics are taught
good sportsmanship, teamwork, goal-setting, and the
value of good physical health and exercise.
Participation in school athletics for both boys and
girls depends on the student being academically eligible
according to
UIL standards. The following sports are offered in
Bandera: cross country, football, volleyball,
basketball, powerlifting, soccer, track & field,
softball, baseball, golf, and tennis.
-
Bandera ISD students can involve themselves in numerous
school sponsored activities such as agriculture, band,
cheerleading, choir, dance, drama, student council, and
more.

Teachers and Staff
-
Because
of the
diversity of the curriculum and the students enrolled in
our schools, Bandera ISD’s educators are highly trained
and prepared to meet the rigors of accountability.
Despite all of the changes in Texas public education,
one thing has remained constant. Whether they serve our
students as schoolteachers, principals, support staff,
administrators, or school board members, Bandera ISD
educators touch the lives of the students they serve
with eyes that see the potential of every child, and
hearts that embrace their every dream and aspiration.
