Mission Statement:
Killeen Independent School District will empower
all students with the knowledge and skills essential to
embrace a life-long love of learning and to thrive as responsible
citizens creating their own future.
Location:
Killeen
is located in Central Texas, approximately 60 miles northwest of Austin.
Special Features of District:
Fort
Hood, the largest military installation in the free world, is nearby. K.I.S.D. is a
very progressive and diverse school district with great teaching opportunities.
We have 27 elementary schools (opened one in Fall 2003 and opening another one
in Fall 2004), 9 middle schools (opening two more in the Fall 2004), and 4 high
schools. We hire over 300 teachers every year with about 60 openings in
mid-year. We have approximately 32,000 students.
Additional Information:
Although our
district is large, there is a sense of closeness usually found only in a small
district. We are a very caring community, and we want all of our teachers to
succeed. We have a strong, well-managed mentorship program for new teachers, an
8-day induction-year program that models best practice KISD style, and an
excellent professional development department, offering over one hundred
different workshops for all of our employees in the summer as well as many other
workshops throughout the year. We have computer labs on every campus with a
campus technologist to assist our teachers in using technology in the
classroom. Every campus has a campus instructional specialist--a master teacher
whose sole job is to manage campus professional development and curriculum and
to assist new teachers with lesson planning, classroom management, classroom
resources, nurturing, and any other needs they may have. We also have an awesome
media center centrally located with evening and weekend hours.
