The KISD Gold Standard

Students from 17 KISD elementary schools came together for this year’s Choral Festival—bringing their voices, energy, and a lot of heart to the stage. From small group performances to a combined finale, it’s one of those moments that reminds you how much students grow when they’re part of something bigger.

More than 11,000 volunteers gave nearly 49,000 hours to support KISD students this year—adding up to nearly $1 million in impact across our schools. From classrooms to campuses, they chose to show up—and that choice is making a difference for students every day.

Killeen ISD Athletics is welcoming new leadership at Killeen High and Shoemaker High. Roderick Sneed brings a new perspective to Killeen High, while Roy Locks steps into a larger role at Shoemaker — both focused on building strong programs and supporting student-athletes on and off the field.

KISD has expanded Rooms to all campuses, giving families one place to message teachers, view updates, and stay connected. Rooms is now the primary way families and teachers communicate and is already in use at many schools. Families can access it through the free KISD mobile app using their HAC login.

If a student sees or experiences something concerning—whether it’s bullying or a safety issue—it’s important to speak up so schools can respond and provide support. KISD has clear processes to review reports, follow up, and work with families. Concerns can be shared with your campus or through the district’s anonymous online reporting tool.

Families are invited to attend upcoming town hall meetings to learn more about plans for the 2026–2027 school year and hear directly from Third Future Schools, the campus’s new operating partner. Each session includes a virtual option, giving families the opportunity to ask questions and better understand what to expect.
