Maggie Dominguez, Ph.D., Executive Director, Communications, Boerne ISD
Each spring, the Greater Boerne Area Chamber of Commerce hosts the “State of the District” luncheon. For the past three years, Dr. Kristin Craft, Superintendent of Boerne ISD, has delivered the address and updated local business owners, taxpayers and families on the district’s progress.
This year, over 350 attendees celebrated the District’s Teachers of the Year and Support Staff of the Year, as well as the progress the district’s made to continue being on the cutting edge of public education in Texas.
Students from the district’s culinary and floral pathways worked with Smoke on the Water to cater and serve at the event and provide decor. Members of various choirs and bands from around the district also provided entertainment before and during the event.
Teachers & Support Staff of the Year
Each of the district’s 14 campuses nominates their own stand-out staff. Ford of Boerne is an incredible partner to the district and the Chamber of Commerce, and presents each of the award winners with gifts at the event.
Launch of “The Boerne Advantage” and Constellations Magazine
Since joining the district three years ago, Dr. Craft has often spoken about how the culture in Boerne shapes our community. Principals and staff helped to create a set of tenets that help explain “The Boerne Advantage,” or what makes Boerne so special. Dr. Craft shared these tenets at the luncheon, and also launched the district’s new digital magazine, Constellations, where stories highlighting the unique aspects of our region, district and culture were shared from each campus.
