Robert G. Cole Junior-Senior 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.
Led by future NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, Cole won the 1989 Class AA (2A) boys state basketball title.
Cole has been twice named a National Blue Ribbon School, in 1986-87 and again in 1990-91.[1]
Rival to Randolph High School, on Randolph Air Force Base, home of the award-winning Mighty Ro-hawk Marching Band.
