BHE MottoAt Bunker Hill, we strive for academic excellence,

as well as teaching our students the life skills needed to be productive members of society, who understand the importance of giving back to the community. We have adopted the Spring Branch ISD motto of "Quality Without Question" in both our academic and life skills program. We stress the importance of respect with our life skill program, "CPR, Children Practicing Respect."

About us…At Bunker Hill, we believe there is no place for

hate, of any kind, and were awarded last year by the Anti-Defamation League for our life skills program. Additionally, if you walk into the classrooms at Bunker Hill, you will likely find a fish hanging somewhere in the room or attached to one of the computers. This fish represents our attitude of support and perseverance. At Bunker Hill, we are definitely one school that swims together. Even when faced with challenges, our faculty and students have adopted the attitude that "We will just keep swimming."
