Shoemaker High School is located in Central Texas, 60 miles north of Austin, 163 miles southwest of Dallas/Fort Worth and 150 miles northeast of San Antonio. Shoemaker High School is part of the Killeen Independent School District. Fort Hood, the largest military installation in the world, provides the major economic base for the community. The school district has a student population of over 40,000 students which includes students from Killeen, Fort Hood, Harker Heights, and Nolanville communities. There are 32 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, 4 high schools and 5 special campuses. KISD is traditionally in the top 5% of Texas school districts in annual growth. Killeen’s four high schools account for over 6,900 students and over 1,300 seniors. Because of the concentration of military families in the school district, we experience a high student mobility rate and enjoy a wide diversity of ethnic populations with over 36 nationalities represented on campus.

Mission Statement: Shoemaker High School educates a diverse population by motivating and empowering them to be continual learners and successful, productive citizens.

Vision Statement: Shoemaker High School will be at the fore front of excellence in education by enhancing the skills needed to engage, empower, and challenge students, as well as staff, to become lifelong learners in our ever-changing global community.
