Virginia Allred Stacey Jr/sr High School

Tucked inside Lackland Air Force Base, this junior-senior high school serves the children of military families stationed in San Antonio, giving it a tight-knit, mission-driven culture that's hard to find anywhere else. Families who value strong academics alongside a community that genuinely understands the military lifestyle — deployments, frequent moves, and all — will feel right at home here. San Antonio itself is a vibrant, deeply welcoming city, and for families living on base, Stacey offers the kind of continuity and connection that makes a real difference during the years kids are here.
