Historical Marker:
The origins of public schools in Boerne date to 1873, when the Boerne Gesangenverein donated land on which to erect a schoolhouse. A two-room stone building was completed in 1874 and served children in all grades. A small frame building was added to the property around the turn of the century, and the upper and lower grades were separated. In 1910 a new two-story stone school was built. It served students of all ages until a high school was built on Johns Road in 1929. The 1910 building was sold to the City of Boerne Utilities in 1951.
Two-story, stone structure, three-part with central section projecting; full basement south side exposed; hipped roof, multi chimneys; windows in series of four, except second story central portion with three semi-circular transoms; bay insets with stone arches.
Boerne is on I-10 west of San Antonio. It is the county seat of Kendall County. Cibolo Creek runs through the town. Settled by German immigrants in 1849. In 1887 the railroad came to town. The town was not incorporated until 1909.
