Graduation is a powerful symbol of perseverance and promise, and for these young people, it’s a transformative step toward a brighter future. You’ll read more about their individual journeys—each made possible because of donors like you.
As the days grow shorter and we move into the heart of fall, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible summer and back to school season we’ve had here at Boysville. It has been a season full of growth, learning, and memorable experiences for the children who call Boysville home.
We are pleased to present the annual report for Boysville, a place we proudly call “A Texas Home for Girls and Boys.” As we reflect on the past year, which also marked our 80th year of service, we are filled with gratitude for the steadfast support of our community and the dedication of our staff and volunteers.
As we usher in the warmth and vibrancy of spring and summer, I am filled with pride and gratitude reflecting on the remarkable achievements and cherished moments we have experienced together. This season has brought us countless memories, but none more inspiring than the journeys of three extraordinary young individuals who have recently graduated from high school.

This time of year we celebrate a new chapter for our Graduates and honor them for all they have accomplished. Each has overcome obstacles, grown in maturity and become the young adults they were meant to be. We could not be more proud of you Destiny, Skye, David and Seth.
These days, when you meet Skye she is happy, kind, and outgoing. In her own words she has a positive spirit, she is always here to help, and she absolutely loves to talk. Skye is a big sister, and when she first arrived here at Boysville she thought that meant she was her siblings’ caretaker.
At age 16, Jareli arrived at our Emergency Shelter right before Christmas. With short hair, broken English, and low self-esteem, Jareli had little faith in adults. Despite her past pleas for help, many adults failed to answer until she met Jennifer and Tina, two strangers who worked with Jareli and brought her to Boysville.
We are proud to introduce our graduating class of 2022! Graduating from Judson High School, Andon and Jon are both residents of Hunter Cottage. From Trease cottage, Zag is graduating from Judson Learning Academy, and graduating from Founders Classical Academy of Schertz is Maya’Jeye, former Boysville resident at Ridgeway Cottage.
At 22, Kiara is counting her blessings one by one. She is as senior at Texas A&M Corpus Christi majoring in Media Production with a minor in Communications. She competes on the university track team as a long jumper and just added the triple jump to her lineup. She is also a budding musician and very popular influencer on Instagram and Tik Tok with over 300,000 combined followers.
