Memorials to the Bellville ISD Museum
In honor of former classmates and teachers, many community members and former BHS classes have donated funds in the form of memorials to the Bellville ISD Museum over the past years. Since the museum is a nonprofit organization and a part of Bellville ISD, a donation or memorial to the museum qualifies as a tax deduction.
To make a donation in memory of someone, please include the following information:
Name of honoree
Name and address of person to whom an acknowledgement card should be sent
Donor(s) name that should appear on acknowledgement card
Check made payable to Bellville ISD Museum or cash
Mail your donation to the Bellville ISD Museum, 518 S. Mathews, Bellville, TX 77418.
A memorial record book listing those who have been honored by memorial donations is on display in the museum and updated regularly. This list honoring those who have been memorialized is now posted by the museum volunteers on our website and will continue to be updated. To see the list, you can visit our website at https://sites.google.com/view/bisdmuseum or visit the BISD’s website and select About Us. It has the link to the BISD Museum.

Bellville ISD yearbooks and Hoof-Beats are now live!
The museum is delighted to share that the digital versions of our Bellville ISD yearbooks and Hoof-Beats are now live on the BISD museum's website. All you need to do is click on BISD History Archives. You will have the option to search by a particular name, subject, or phrase. Additionally, you will be able to navigate page by page by selecting a campus yearbook and a particular year. If you are having trouble navigating the site, click on RESOURCE at the top of the page for tutorials. The Bellville ISD Museum is thrilled to present our upcoming project. We are currently digitizing all our documents, photos and capturing images of the items that the community has donated to provide a complete history of Bellville ISD. The origins of the Bellville ISD, the history of the first community schools to operate inside its boundaries, the BHS football teams from 1938, 1960, and 1977, and much more will all be covered in these materials. There will be a list of alumni from the first graduation in 1885 to 2024.
These resources will all be available online on the same platform as the newspapers and yearbooks. To finance the publishing of all the content online, the museum still needs your assistance. To expand the collection, we are continuously looking for new historical documents, pictures, and artifacts. Nothing is too small or insignificant. To make the history of the district accessible to the community and former students, the Bellville ISD Museum also needs financial donations.
Please mail donations to Bellville ISD Museum, 518 S. Mathews,
Bellville, TX 77418, if you would like to support the museum. For any
inquiries, please contact bisdmuseum@bellvillebrahmas.org or phone
(979) 865-3133.

We are excited to announce a project to protect and make available for everyone ALL Bellville Independent School District's Yearbooks!
Our goal is to digitize all BISD yearbooks since 1915! Each yearbook, since 1915, will be available online and through the Bellville Public Library online resources.
Preserving the BISD yearbooks will provide a resource for learning about Bellville history.
Please consider making a monetary donation to help the Museum maintain the history of Bellville ISD and our community.
Our History
Our History
How It Started
How It Started
The Bellville Independent School District is one of Austin County's oldest educational districts. Bellville’s first schools were private community schools until a committee of Bellville citizens drafted a bill for consideration by the Texas Legislature. This bill, brought by Bellville’s own State Senator, Alvah Chesley, to the Texas Legislature granted unincorporated Texas towns and villages the power to incorporate for free public school purposes. After this bill became law the area’s private schools were now part of the Bellville School District. Bellville Public School District created the first Texas Public School for unincorporated towns. Bellville School District has undergone many changes in its organization and growth since the creation of this new State Law. Since Bellville ISD is a long-established district, there are many different documents, pamphlets, programs, artifacts, and yearbooks included on this site as well as our BISD Museum.
Eventually, 24 rural schools joined together to form Bellville Independent School District.
