Killeen ISD is set to open four new elementary schools this fall and close three existing ones and will debut four new mascots along with the school openings.
The new Pershing Park Elementary School, which opened in January, will be the home of the Pumas and will replace the former campus on West Central Texas Expressway. Sugar Loaf Elementary School is closing after the school year ends and will consolidate with the new Pershing Park over the summer, the school district said in a release.
Killeen ISD announced Tuesday the addition of four new mascots to accompany the four newest elementary schools which are slated to open this August.
âFrom almost any angle you take, the landscape of the Killeen Independent School District is changing dramatically,â Killeen ISD spokeswoman Taina Maya said in a press release. âNew construction is pushing the school districtâs boundaries to the south to accommodate growing housing subdivisions in high-growth zones.â
Next school year, beginning in August, KISD is opening four new elementary schools and closing three existing ones. KISDâs Communications and Marketing Department worked in partnership with campus leadership and various committees to develop a mascot for each new campus, Maya said.
