Killian, who retired last year
as deputy superintendent last
year after serving 24 years in var-
ious administrative capacities
with the Lewisville Independent
School District, was on hand to
thank the school board for the
honor of having a school named
after him and to cut the ribbon.
Killian, whose duties over the
years included being associate
superintendent for instruction
had some words of advice for
the students in the crowd.
“Do your very best,” he said.
“Have a good tim., but .1
hard.”
To members of the school
board, most of whom were pres-
ent, he said, “I really appreciate
the honor you have bestowed on
me.”
Alan Cassel, Killian MS prin-
cipal, was among several who
had high praise for the longtime
school administrator.
“I don’t know a more honor-
able man and I am very proud
that we can open a school in his
name,” Cassel said.
Fred Placke, school board
president, added, “We are very
proud of this building and we are
very proud to have it named
after this gentleman.”
Dr. Jerry Roy, LISD superin-
tendent, introduced school
board members and other guests
and unveiled a portrait of Killian
to be placed in a prominent
place at the school.
The ceremony, which con-
cluded with the cutting of the
ribbon by Killian, was followed
by a barbecue dinner in the
school cafeteria.
The dedication ceremony
was held about a month after the
new school was opened for
classes.
Killian, a native of Bonham,
began his career as a teacher
and coach at the Fort Worth
Christian Academy in 1970 and
was later promoted to principal.
He worked for the Grapevine
Independent School District
from 1972 to 1976 as a teacher,
coach, department head and
coordinator of community edu-
cation.
Killian then went to South
Texas for a few years where he
served as assistant principal and
principal at Alice and later as
adjunct professor of graduate-
level school administration at
Texas A&I (Now Texas A&M
University at Kingsville).
He began his 24-year years of
service with the LISD in 1982 as
director of secondary education.
He was promoted to assistant
superintendent for instruction in
1985 and became associate
superintendent for instruction in
1991. He became deputy super-
intendent in 2000, and retired in
2006.
Killian Middle School is a
beautiful new three-story build-
ing presently with almost 500
students but with the capacity
for as many as 1,000 students.
Located in the vicinity of the
growing Castle Hills community,
the student population is expect-
ed to grow rapidly each year,
according to Cassel.
The new middle school is
equipped with state-of-the-art
computer technology.
Also, Cassel said, all teachers
will soon be equipped with lapel
microphones said they can be
heard clearly from any part of
any classroom.
