Bishop Johnston founded a school in San Antonio in 1893, initially named "The West Texas School for Boys," to provide classical and Christian education.
Johnston established the school to address the need for an educated elite in the region. He raised money from wealthy Episcopalians on the Eastern Seaboard. The school was intended to train young men for seminaries but remained open to students of any religious faith.
