"KISD has allowed me to serve a campus and mentor a group of student-athletes again. That is something I do not take lightly. The people associated with this campus bring a unique and different perspective to the table each day. Everyday there's a new challenge, but we work as a team to win daily. It is truly fun coming to work and working alongside a great staff. The students can see we enjoy what we do and in return they have a better spirit and demeanor about themselves. It is an honor to serve this community and impact Killeen in a positive way!"

“I am proud to be a part of the Fine Arts Department at KISD. As an elementary music teacher, I get to introduce our youngest students to a love and appreciation for music. Our district provides amazing opportunities for that passion to grow and for students to shine.
I cherish the joy of watching my students grow into incredible musicians. Some of my favorite memories are seeing both current and former students perform, and I’m grateful to be a part of their musical journey.”
