Haynes Elementary School serves a population of 1,239 students.  It is located at 3309 West Canadian River Loop Killeen, Texas. Haynes Elementary School (HES) was dedicated in 2011.

Mr. Diab, the very first principal of Haynes Elementary School, oversaw the running of the school from 2011 - 2015.

Mrs. Angela Donovan served as the second principal from 2015 - 2021.

Mrs. Alice Baumann is the third and current principal serving at Haynes. Her tenure began in the summer of 2021.

Our school mascot is the hornet. According to Texas Apiary Inspection Services website, the only known native hornet in Texas is the Baldfaced Hornet. Hornet is generally a term used when talking about wasps and yellowjackets, but the Badfaced hornet is the only known direct hornet species in Texas (txbeeinspection.tamu.edu/public/bee-identification/hornets/). Even though we typically think of hornets as being black and yellow, the species that actually lives in Texas goes about things a little differently by having a black and white color scheme. As you can see below, the Baldfaced hornet is an insect whose black and white markings serves as vibrant and early warning for all others to be warned.

Here is a link to  instructional material from the Missouri Department of Conservation about the Bald-Faced Hornet.
