The KISD Gold Standard

In Killeen ISD, military-connected students are a valued part of who we are. During Month of the Military Child, campuses across the district showed their support on Purple Up Day, with students and staff wearing purple on April 15. In a community closely connected to Fort Hood, these moments reflect the pride, resilience, and strong relationships that help every student feel supported and connected.

Twenty-three Killeen ISD campuses have earned Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School recognition for 2025–2026, highlighting strong, student-centered cultures across the district. These are schools where relationships and a sense of belonging help students grow and succeed. It reflects the consistent, intentional work happening every day to support every student.

KISD track and field athletes delivered standout performances and demonstrated sportsmanship at the District 16-5A and 12-6A meets, showcasing speed, strength, and a drive to excel. Across the district, 74 student-athletes advanced to area competition, continuing their pursuit of postseason success. Team highlights included district team championships for the Shoemaker and Chaparral boys squads, reflecting the depth of talent and top-notch coaching that's seen throughout KISD athletics. It’s a powerful example of students rising to the challenge, competing with purpose, and building momentum toward a strong finish.

KISD is bringing families together for a free Family Fitness & Wellness Fair this Saturday. From hands-on activities to helpful resources, it’s designed to make healthy living simple and accessible. It’s also a chance to connect—with each other and with the support available across our community. Small steps, big impact.

Families have an opportunity to learn more about the future of Manor Middle School through upcoming town hall meetings. Third Future Schools will share plans for the 2026–2027 school year, while KISD continues to provide oversight and accountability. Meetings are offered in person and virtually to make it easy to attend. We want families informed, involved, and heard.
