Robert G. Cole Junior-Senior High School
Robert G. Cole High School is the public high school for the Fort Sam Houston Independent School District. It is named after Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. Robert G. Cole, who was born on Fort Sam Houston. As the boundaries of the district are coterminous with the boundaries of the Fort, enrollment at Cole is open only to those pupils residing on the installation or nearby Camp Bullis, or transfer students whose parents work at either installation.
Cole has been twice named a National Blue Ribbon School, in 1986-87 and again in 1990-91. In 2011, the school was rated "Academically Acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
