Geneva recognized as top TAPPS 4A school in Texas

It's the 12th Henderson Cup for Geneva since 2010

Geneva School of Boerne has been recognized by the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) as the top school in the TAPPS 4A classification for the fifth time. The school has earned this honor 12 times since 2010 in various classifications.

The Henderson Cup is awarded by TAPPS to each school in the six classifications that scores the most points during the year in competitive academic, athletic and fine arts events sponsored by TAPPS.

“Winning the Henderson Cup is an affirmation of Geneva’s triple commitment to academics, athletics and fine arts. Our school resists early specialization in any one area. Instead, we encourage all our students to participate in all three and we work hard to make it possible for them to do so. We want our students to explore who God created them to be and what it is that He created them to do. The Henderson Cup is a result of the enthusiasm with which they have embraced these opportunities at Geneva,” Geneva Head of School Leslie Moeller said.

This 2025-26 TAPPS accomplishment included a Division II Orchestra State Championship for the third year in a row (and six times overall) as well as state runner- up finishes in the visual arts, varsity girls soccer and varsity girls tennis.

Geneva has won the Henderson Cup five times as a TAPPS 4A school (201718, 2018-19, 2022-23, 2024-25, 2025-26), twice as a TAPPS 3A school (20142015, 2015-2016), twice as a 2A school (2012-2013, 2013-2014) and three times as a 1A school (2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012).

Geneva tallied 78 total points to win this year’s cup and received 26 points from fine arts and 52 from athletics – 28 from girls teams and 24 from boys teams.

Lubbock Christian School finished second with 65 points (20 fine arts and 45 athletics) and The Covenant School – Dallas placed third with 64 points (8 points from fine arts and 56 athletics).

“Students at Geneva have continued to excel in all the areas that this cup represents. This shows the consistency of student engagement, excellence and achievement by our students, coaches and faculty by winning this award 12 times over the last 16 years,” Rhetoric School Headmaster Matt Donnowitz said.

The school first introduced varsity competition to its students in the 200809 school year. The first graduating senior class was in 2011 with 19 students. This year, 39 seniors graduated in the Class of 2026.
