It’s ALWAYS a great day to be a CHAMPION CHARGER!

Welcome to the 2026–2027 academic year at Samuel V. Champion High School! As your principal, I am thrilled to welcome our returning Chargers and greet our incoming freshman families as we launch into an incredible new year. Our school community thrives on a collective commitment to follow “The Champion Way” by leading with success, responsibility, trustworthiness, perseverance, adaptability, compassion, initiative, loyalty, courage, honesty, optimism, respect, & contemplation. We are dedicated to providing a safe, challenging, and intellectually stimulating environment that helps every student live out "The Champion Way". There is no greater gift than that of being a teacher. Every teacher and staff member at Champion High School is dedicated to the success of your children. There is no greater place to be than in Boerne ISD. This year’s theme is “Chargers Making an IMPACT!”  
We are looking forward to an amazing year, partnering with our parents and community to make an IMPACT!  Be the reason others grow!  Use your Power, Make an IMPACT!  Our Chargers will be leaving a Legacy that shows others they care and they are committed to each and every student, every day!

  • Free & Reduced Meals and Federal Guidelines - Apply using PaySchools Portal or download a printable application in English or Spanish.

Students are expected to have funds available for the purchase of their meals. However, students who do not have funds in their accounts will be allowed to charge up to $50.

Attendance Supports Academic Success!

Regular attendance ensures that students don’t miss important instruction, can actively participate, and maintain the structure needed to learn effectively. Even bright students can struggle to succeed if they miss too much school. Make your attendance in school a top priority this year!
