With the opening of the Boerne Independent School District’s second high school campus in 2007, emphasis was placed on the development of an extensive performing arts facility. A state-of-the-art auditorium seating approximately 985, provides a clear line of vision from every seat in the house and has received accolades for its acoustics as well as its aesthetic qualities. Surrounding the auditorium are rehearsal facilities for band, orchestra, dance, choir and drama, in addition to a spacious and contemporary two-story lobby.  Boerne ISD has an active Fine Arts Program, and was recently recognized as one of the 174 outstanding districts in the country, one of 13 recognized in Texas. This award, for the “Best Communities for Music Education” in the United States Award, is acknowledged by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation.
