Honoring a special group of soon-to-graduate seniors, Killeen ISDâs Career and Technical Education leaders distributed hundreds of purple cords in recognition of achievement above and beyond the expected.
The Killeen ISD Career Center expected about 325 seniors to participate in the celebration recently at the Killeen Civic and Conference Center.
In all, about 368 seniors are set to earn more than 500 industry level certifications this year in a wide array of career-focused programs.
While the large majority of the honored students attend the Career Center, some completed their work on other high school campuses.
âThe most precious part of this to me,â said Chief College, Career, Military Readiness Officer Nancy Patterson, âis that they have all met high school requirements to graduate and these have stepped beyond.â
