October's Social Emotional Learning Topic
What does it mean to Self-Direct?
Self-Direction is the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be. Instead of focusing on things to control or avoid, we emphasize our responsibility to make positive choices related to our emotions, attitudes, and actions.
Self-Direction in Action:
- Practice goal setting and action planning
- Monitor and Adjust
- Reflect and Evaluate
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
- George Bernard Shaw

Ellison Tennis:
Ellison Team Tennis has made the playoffs for the first time in almost a decade!!!
This remarkable group of kids has truly gone above and beyond for the team's success. They have reached the playoffs with a skeleton crew. Achieving this milestone with such limited numbers is a testament to their dedication and resilience. A few players even stepped up to compete in varsity matches, showing incredible selflessness. Their commitment has been nothing short of inspiring!
Way to go, Ellison Tennis!
Ellison Screaming Eagle Band:
The Ellison Screaming Eagle Band competed at the US Bands Madisonville Regional Contest this past weekend, earning 1st place in Group 3 and winning the music, visual, and percussion captions. Congratulations to the band on a strong start to the contest season!
Way to go, Ellison Band!
Ellison Screaming Eagle JROTC Battalion:
The Eagle Battalion presented the colors proudly as they strut across the field with patriotism in their hands. Showcasing the determination and grit of the Battalion on and off the field.
The Battalion believes that "practice makes perfect" striving to be the best always.
Way to go, Eagle Battalion!

Our Mission Statement
The People Business
The mission of Ellison High School is to launch young people into successful adult lives of learning, service, and meaningful work.
This means we are in The People Business: Common Ground, Common Commitments, Common Celebrations. Go Eagles!
Our goal is to help every student learn, grow, and discover how they can make positive contributions to their community, today and in the future, here in Killeen and around the world.
Own Your Learning
Our most important motto at EHS is: Own Your Learning!
When we use this motto, we are reminding students that their academic success belongs to them, and that they should take ownership of it. School staff and parents all care very much about students' academic success, but the key is for our students to see their academic success and achievements as their own.
This invitation to growth, maturity, and ownership of one's success is a key part of our experience here at EHS.
Own Your Learning!
