Welcome:

Welcome to the Killeen Association of Texas Professional Educators web site. With more than 1,100 members, we are the largest educational association serving the Killeen Independent School District. Believing that it takes an entire community to educate children, our "all inclusive" membership policy includes teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, retirees, teacher trainees, college students, and the general public. All we ask is that you be interested in the education of children. We are part of the 112,000 plus member Association of Texas Professional Educators, the leading educators’ association in the state and the largest independent association for public school educators in the nation.
