Students build fish habitats for Cibolo Creek

When Cibolo Creek starts flowing once again, fish that inhabit the waters will find “a place to call home” thanks to a group of Boerne ISD students.

Champion High School students designed and constructed five large fish habitats that will help the creatures flourish in their new region.

Dorman Vick, in his 18th year as Boerne ISD’s welding/ag mechanics technology instructor at Champion, said the fish habitats — ranging in size from 11 feet to 20 feet, each weighing about 1,000 pounds — represent the third project his ag mechanical-welding students have completed in a partnership with the city of Boerne.
