In 2024, Boerne ISD repurposed an Admin and storage building at the corner of Main and Johns Road.  That building is the home of The Boerne Academy and is officially called The George C. and Bedelia Mitchell Learning Center.   The story of it’s name sakes right after this…

George C. and Bedelia Mitchell were the owners of Mitchell Cleaners on Plant Street and their love for Boerne and Country ran deep.  George and Be delia married in September of 1942,  and a month later George was in the European theatre with the United States Navy in World War II. When he came home, George kept serving.  In 1969 George was the first President of The Boerne Crusaders Club that provided scholarships and mentored students.  It also tackled community projects like building a new gazebo in Main Plaza. George Mitchell earned the 1973 Citizen of the  Year Award by the Lions Club.  Bedelia was a force of her own with the nickname Mrs P.T.A.  She worked at Curington Elementary for 12 years and gave private Spanish lessons.  In 1971 The State of Texas awarded her the Tops of Texas Award for her volunteer and civic service in Boerne.  Today the Mitchells rest in Boerne Cemetery but their legacy hasn’t rested at all.

It’s still alive — in service, in education, and in the next generation of Boerne.
