Because of Bosque, courage carried us through

In 2003, a wildfire in the bosque came dangerously close to our campus, putting our community and this place we all love at risk. Thanks to the swift and courageous actions of first responders, the campus was protected. Their bravery, and the strength of our community, ensured that Bosque School could continue to grow and thrive for generations of students to come.

First Graduating Class

The class of 2001 pioneered the way for hundreds of other Bobcats to follow.  We can't wait to celebrate the class of 2026 and their graduation in May!

Because of Bosque, we’re rooted, rising, and thriving on the bosque.

In the 1997-98 school year, President Gerald R. Ford and his family helped launch our school’s first capital campaign where nearly $1 million was raised to begin building a permanent campus. On March 28, 1999, we broke ground on our campus alongside the bosque. Step back in time and relive the groundbreaking excitement by watching some footage taken on the day.

Hey Bobcats, it's time for morning meeting!

We begin each day, and every Founder's Days, the same way: with Morning Meeting! We invite you to take a glimpse at this video from 2021, which reflects on our very first Morning Meeting on August 17, 1995 on our original campus.
