Killeen ISD mourns the loss of retired Lt. Gen. Horace G. “Pete” Taylor, an extraordinary leader and beloved advocate for education in Central Texas. Lt. Gen. Taylor, a former KISD trustee, dedicated his life to service, not only through his distinguished military career but also through his relentless support for educational advancement in our community.
He was a tireless champion for military students and played a critical role in the establishment of partnerships between military installations and the school districts serving military-connected children. His legacy of compassion, leadership, and commitment to educational excellence will continue to inspire and shape our district for generations to come.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Lt. Gen. Taylor’s family, friends, and all who were privileged to know him. His contributions to Killeen ISD permeate our community, making this a better place for all.
