Killeen's West Ward Elementary shuts down after 68 years of teaching | Education
As the school year came to an end in the final days of May, students and staff members at the oldest school in Killeen ISD gathered to remember 68 years of teaching and learning. West Ward Elementary School on 709 W. Dean Avenue first opened in 1953. On May 27 at 3 p.m. the school in north Killeen will dismissed for the final time. In a transition now two years in preparation, the students and most of the staff at West Ward will relocate to Killeen Elementary School, a three-level campus on Rancier Avenue that will consolidate West Ward and the former East Ward Elementary attendance zones.
