The Katherine Anne Porter School is committed to fostering an educational environment that is safe, welcoming, and free from stigma and discrimination for all students regardless of gender identity and expression, race, academic needs or individual differences.


NEW!  “LeAD – League of Ancient Dragons" 

The primary goal of LeAD is to increase positive interactions between adults and students on campus while providing a visible presence of support and accountability. 


Discover the Dragon difference.


Founded in 1998, Katherine Anne Porter School is a free, public, charter high school serving students grades 7-12. As an open enrollment Charter, we welcome students  from Wimberley and many surrounding areas, including Hays, Blanco, Comal, Travis  and Williamson Counties. KAPS provides a vital and necessary alternative to the traditional ISD for our students. With small classes and a focus on each of our individual learners,  we provide a meaningful educational experience and welcoming, inclusive community unlike many traditional high schools. 


Our unique approach to learning at Katherine Anne Porter School has helped many students not only succeed, but excel, in their high school career and beyond,  especially those who  may have found themselves struggling in previous educational settings.  We are a school for all, an accepting community of learners. We invite you to join us.

Why donate to Operation Support KAPS?

While the KAPS’ ethos of community, respect, service, empathy, and friendship has made a measurable impact in Wimberley and surrounding communities for years, falling enrollment recently has put KAPS at risk of closing our doors.

When Katherine Anne Porter School alumni learned of the challenges, we rallied and are united in fighting to save our beloved school. Now, eight new Board Members — all former KAPS administrators, teachers, students and parents —  join the three remaining community representatives in forming an 11-member Board passionately committed to creating a KAPS renaissance.

To begin this process of revitalization at Katherine Anne Porter School, we must raise $300,000.

Where does your donation go?

Your donation will go directly to Operation Support KAPS. With your help, we can return to providing academic excellence and meaningful impact for generations of Katherine Anne Porter School students to come. KAPS will once again be revered for its art, music, philosophy, yoga, gardening, martial arts, multi-language classes, and many other unique, inspiring courses.


We have lots of work to do, but the KAPS alumni students, parents, and educators are determined. And you can help us save

the school that has saved thousands of students in the 25 years KAPS has provided a safe haven.
