Boerne High School is a public high school located in the hill country just 30 miles northwest of San Antonio in Boerne, Texas, USA.

The "original" Boerne High School currently serves as Boerne Middle School North.

The 'Hounds', regardless of what sport, usually make deep runs in the playoffs, with almost all of the teams making it to at least the Regional finals in the last five years. The football, baseball, soccer, basketball, cross country, tennis and softball teams have all reached regionals within the past 5 years. The softball team won state in 2007 and soccer won state in 2006. Also, the football team reached regionals in 2005, and the state semi-finals in 2004. Baseball and cross country both won state in 2004.

History

The school was closed and renovated in 2008-2009, and re-opened for the 2009-2010 year. During the 2008-2009 school year, all tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade students in the Boerne area attended Boerne Samuel V. Champion High School. Ninth grade students continued to attend the Boerne Middle Schools for this year. At the start of the 2009-2010 school year, both BHS and BSVCHS housed Boerne ISD's 9-12th graders, while BMSS and BMSN housed 7-8th graders again. Now, Boerne Middle School South feeds into Boerne Samuel V. Champion High School and Boerne Middle School North feeds into Boerne High School.
