The Blanco ISD school board adjusted the original 2023-24 school calendar several months ago by moving the April 1 holiday to April 8 - which is the day of the eclipse. The reason for that change was that Blanco is expected to be a popular site for visitors to view the eclipse and travel may be difficult. As a result April 1 is a regular school day and April 8 is now a holiday. The online calendars are updated, but if you printed out or saved the original calendar, it now has some incorrect dates on it. Please make note of these changes if you have not already done so.
The following students earned designations based on their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT test taken earlier this year.

Lots of work is being done and dirt is being moved for the Educational Center for the Arts. Things are on track and on schedule. The pad is almost complete.
Things are starting to progress with the field house. Major work removing pavement and moving dirt started this week. They are working to create the pad and getting it level with the track. The field house should be ready early in the upcoming football season if things remain on schedule.
Check back for more details as the construction process progresses.
