Willow Springs teacher Alisha Kruttlin
Now close to 20 years in education, Kruttlin recalls her childhood years playing school with her sister in the style of Little House on the Prairie.
As a child, she admired her own teachers, who always seemed so organized, kind, professional and smart. She wanted to be like them.
Kruttlin began her career in the military, serving 13 years in the Air Force, the Army and the National Guard, earning a college degree along the way and eventually entering the teaching field.
The longtime teacher sees her profession as profound and multi-faceted but simple at its heart.
It’s about caring for students, giving them the best chance of success, keeping them safe, serving as a role model and what she calls elevating their thinking.
Kruttlin is determined to teach every child in her care to prepare them for what’s ahead.
“I love to see the development of these young minds,” she said. “I want to keep inspiring them and hope they are able to hold on to dreams and they can come true someday.”
Ellison High School police officer Dawin Vazquez
Vazquez worked four years as a Bell County deputy before moving over to KISD as a police officer five years ago.
He patrolled across several schools before this year taking on the lead position at Ellison High School.
Vazquez said he loves interacting with students and staff members at the large high school. His days are largely talking with whoever needs assistance or advice or guidance in the right direction.
The officer sees himself as a positive mentor working proactively to keep students from winding up like the people he picked up as a county deputy.
When he has time, he makes his way to the baseball field to play catch.
“I wanted to make a difference,” said Vazquez, explaining that he saw the need juvenile offenders had for positive mentors.
“At the school, you wear many hats. You are a police officer. You are a mentor. You are a counselor. It goes on and on.”
The officer said he feels well-placed to help students understand why they get in trouble and how to make better choices.
“You will see me talking and joking with kids,” he said. “You see me giving me high fives. I like to go to the baseball field and throw a baseball.”
Vazquez helped to develop the Blue Elf program two years ago. KISD police officers manage a toy drive leading into the holidays to help families in need.
“I was surprised,” he said of earning a STEEL Award. “I like to work behind the scenes. You don’t do anything by yourself. Being nominated, it was an honor.”
Beverly Ledbetter – Saegert Elementary substitute teacher
She started working as a substitute last year and continues this year, focusing mainly at Saegert Elementary School, where her youngest child attends.
With three school-age students, she wanted to get back in the workforce and to work hours and days consistent with her children.
“I love being a sub. It’s fun. It changes every day. It’s great. I love being in my kid’s school. Saegert is fantastic. It feels warm and accepting.”
Ledbetter was reading to her students in the library when a crowd of well-wishers interrupted.
“It was very surprising. It was a shock. It’s humbling to be pointed out. I feel like I’m the lucky one to be in the classroom and fill a gap when it needs to be filled. It’s the teachers who should be getting the award,” she said.
Besides giving Ledbetter a paycheck and added time in her children’s schools, she has learned the deep sacrifices teachers make.
“I think subbing has taught me that children are more capable than most people think. It has showed me how hard teachers work. It is incredible what these teachers do, the progress students make,” she said.
“It has showed me a lot about how dedicated and hardworking teachers are and how much they give personally for their students.”
Jerrilyn Lizama – Live Oak Ridge Middle School campus instructional specialist
“Educating children is at the center of my life, my world,” said Lizama, who has taught and been an administrator at the high school and middle school levels for 23 years, 19 years in KISD.
“When I’m dealing with children, I think about how I want my children to be dealt with … that helps me overcome obstacles. It’s been a great experience,” she said.
“My motivation is the children. They are our future. I want to make sure we are shaping individuals prepared to take care of us,” she said. “Being a part of that is a huge responsibility, but it’s an honor
“To impact so many lives – one student or one teacher a day – that impact goes a long way.
“I’m very honored and very grateful. I thank God for the opportunity to work with everyone. There’s always something to be grateful about.”
Her nomination called her creative, helpful and caring.
“Your dedication goes beyond mere words,” it stated. “It’s a testament to your enduring passion for education and belief in the potential for every student.”
Louise Capodicasa – Iduma Elementary School The group hid in the Iduma library as Principal Katy Bohannon brought in her unsuspecting morning custodian. When Capodicasa saw the group, and realized they were assembled for her, she quickly showed her emotion, at first with tears and then with excitement that was infectious. The 29-year KISD employee is described as dedicated, enthusiastic, and caring. “We are told by Principal Katy Bohannon who nominated you that you enthusiastically welcome everyone to our ‘Iduma Ohana,’ and your pride for the campus is evidenced by the care you give each and every day,” Assistant Superintendent Will Baker said, reading the nomination. Enthusiastic custodian shows spiritBrenda Gooding surprised with honor The excited, surprised Capodicasa smiled widely. Students and staff members at Iduma refer to her as the mother of the school. She worked at Iduma when the school first opened 20 years ago, and Principal Judy Tyson tapped her as lead custodian to help open the campus. “I love my staff and I love my kids. The parents respect me because I treat everyone the same way,” she said. “We are all Ohana. I tell everyone here we are family. It’s a blessing. I thank God for my job.” When she walked into the library, she started to cry. “It makes me feel good because it makes me feel like everyone appreciates me. We need to appreciate everyone. It takes a village to take care of the school.” “I try to help whoever needs help because I’ve been here so long,” she said, listing off teachers, crossing guards, cafeteria staff, and other employees. “This is my home. When God says it’s time for me to go, it’s time for me to go.”
Brenda Gooding - Learning Services - Assessment and Accountability At Technology Services on Beeline Drive in Harker Heights, Gooding emerged from a hallway, shocked to see a group of people assembled to honor her. “We are excited to celebrate you today,” said Baker, reading the nomination from Assessment and Accountability Director Dawn Sills. “Your unwavering commitment to student success and your invaluable support for our teaching staff are the cornerstones of your exceptional contributions to Killeen ISD.” Words to describe the director’s secretary are patient, dependable and supportive. “Brenda does not just support the department in which she serves,” according to the nomination. “She is the hub of all communication between this department and each campus and community member who seeks guidance regarding a task we own.” Gooding is known to handle difficult calls with patience and says she is not interested in retiring because the work continues to give her enjoyment. “Her dependability and foresight ensure that nothing gets overlooked. From making sure Ms. Sills attends meetings, to impeccably managing her requisitions, to following up with parents and staff; her dedication to this district is undeniable and unmatched.” “I enjoy what I do. I’ve had good directors and good leadership,” she said. “I was shocked,” she said of receiving an award. “I am humbled. It makes me feel good. I come to work and do what I need to do. I wasn’t expecting (an award).” After working on Fort Cavazos, she transitioned to KISD in 1996, first at Palo Alto Middle School as an aide and then a secretary, then moved into the director’s secretary role. STEEL stands for Supporting the Education and Empowerment of Learners. The award itself is a steel plaque fabricated in the KISD Career Center welding bays and polished and finished in the automotive shop. “It embodies qualities like strength, resilience, durability and unwavering commitment – traits that we hold in high esteem,” said Bradley of the two honorees.

In KISD’s Property Management Department, technician Tammie Thorman is similarly inclined to work diligently behind the scenes.
She helps to coordinate the purchase of textbooks, furniture and other instructional material without fanfare.
Her colleagues, however, know that her work is critical to keeping the school district functioning.
“For me, it’s being able to get everyone what they need to be able to teach our kids,” Thorman said of her motivation to do her job well.
“I just want to help everyone so we can achieve what we want to achieve.”
“I was shocked, surprised,” she said of winning a district award. “It was gratifying to know that what we do here is recognized.”
Each month, two staff-nominated KISD employees receive the STEEL Award, a circular steel plaque cut, polished and painted at the Career Center.

Ellison High School budgeting secretary Elena Hatton and property management records center technician Tammie Thorman are KISD STEEL Award winners for January.
Superintendent Jo Ann Fey joined Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Will Baker and other district leaders in honoring the two award-winning employees.
STEEL stands for Supporting the Education and Empowerment of Learners.
In just two years at Ellison, Hatton has made a major impression.
Principal David Dominguez nominated her for the monthly district honor.
She began working at the school as a coordinator for substitute teachers.
Her effort to get to know the subs personally and call on specific people based on their availability helped streamline the daily process of getting classes covered.
That led to Hatton moving into a different role, overseeing budgeting for the school administration.
When the group entered Ellison to honor the secretary, she was clearly surprised and shied from the spotlight as students in the commons area cheered.
Curriculum Director Angela Espada confirmed that the soft-spoken Hatton is universally appreciated by faculty. Now, there are substitute teachers who request to go to Ellison because of her personal touch.
“It was a shock. I was surprised. I was very surprised,” Hatton said of winning the award.
“I like the people. I like the kids,” she said of her position at the high school.
Espada praised the humble employee, who learned the school’s procedures quickly and has jumped into a variety of roles as needed because she is willing and able.
“We know our classes are going to be covered because she’s going to get it done,” the curriculum director said.
Patterson Middle School counselor Keri Luepke
Luepke was a math teacher at Union Grove Middle School before taking the counselor position at Patterson and has been at KISD 11 years. Her husband is also a teacher in the district, and they have two children who are students in KISD.
After teaching at the high school level, Luepke said she found her people at the middle school level, where “they are a mess and I love them,” she said, noting the spectrum of topics from moodiness to significant mental health challenges.
“At the end of the day, I just love the kids,” she said.
Going from teaching 150-plus to serving 1,000 students usually one at a time, she found a new kind of service just as rewarding as teaching.
“They make friendships back with connections you helped them keep,” she said. “They share struggles you help them through. You see a lot of growth from sixth to eighth grade. It’s very rewarding.”
Never one to seek the spotlight, Luepke was essentially trying to squeeze out of the way when a horde of guests entered the Patterson hallway to honor her with the monthly district award.
“Shocking. Humbling. I keep up with a lot of what goes on in KISD. When I see the STEEL Award winners, I think ‘wow, they must be amazing.’ I never thought I fit in that category like those celebrities do.”
As a middle school counselor, Luepke said she urges students to pay attention to those around them, and to be kind to everyone around them, not knowing what people are experiencing.
Ira Cross Elementary library aide Colleen McArthur
Library aide Colleen McArthur was similarly shocked when the superintendent, her principal and others invaded the library at Ira Cross Elementary School. She figured the award would be going to anyone but her.
The eight-year KISD employee is described as creative, sincere and someone who leads by example.
She brings creativity to her work and is a servant leader, often supporting activities after school and on the weekends.
“I enjoy helping them find books. I enjoy interacting with them and seeing how they progress from picture books to reading words,” she said.
“What motivates me is the atmosphere at Ira Cross. Everyone is so special here. If you’re gone for even one day they want to know where you are, even the kids,” she said.
McArthur figured the librarian was receiving the award, not her.
“I just do what I do out of love for the kids. I’m a giver and I like to give. To be recognized, I was totally taken by surprise and overwhelmed.”
Killeen ISD Announces November STEEL Award Winners: Nolanville Elementary School Eric Melomontoya At Nolanville Elementary School, Melomontoya was humbled to receive an award for doing his job. He retired from the U.S. Army after 22 years before becoming a bilingual classroom aide, then went to college for five years to become a teacher. “You invest so much into it,” the kindergarten teacher said of teaching. “I get emotional,” he said, explaining that students often have distractions outside of school that can be obstacles to learning. “I try to meet that need. I tell them that this is a safe zone. The school is a safe zone. They can come to class and be kids and learn and make learning fun,” said Melomontoya. The teacher said he is determined to make a difference in the lives of all the students in his care and teach them to love learning. The STEEL Award is a circular design made of steel cut in the welding bays at the KISD Career Center and polished and painted by students in the automotive body shop. “It signifies strength, endurance, resilience, and unwavering commitment,” said Fey, “qualities that our awardees exemplify in their daily work.” #WeAreKISD Killeen ISD is a great place to work!

Hay Branch Elementary Nayeliz Marquez Figeroa
Figeroa didn’t waste time making her presence known at Hay Branch Elementary.
Killeen ISD Superintendent Jo Ann Fey joined Assistant Superintendent Will Baker and several other school district leaders, Principal Steve Bibiano and other supporters in congratulating the surprised classroom aide on the honor.
The STEEL Award stands for Supporting the Education and Empowerment of Learners. Any KISD staff member can nominate any other staff member to receive the monthly honor.
Figeroa graduated from Copperas Cove High School in 2020, attends Central Texas College and is working to be a certified classroom teacher. She started working as a classroom aide in August.
“I wanted to get some experience because I want to be a teacher,” she said.
“I love the kids. They come up to you and hug you. I love the staff. They are very supportive, always there for you. I just love teaching the little ones.”
She loves standing in the hall at the start of the day and seeing the young children with their big, bright smiles excited to see her and happy to learn.
“What excites me about being a teacher is teaching the future,” she said. “To motivate them to chase their dream and go for it.”
“It feels great. I did not expect it at all. I’m in awe.”
“She’s a joy to have around,” said Bibiano. “She cares about each and every one of our students. She takes her job seriously. Instruction is at her forefront. She’s very caring, very patient.”
Pre-kindergarten is a challenging assignment, but the principal said the young aide embraces the youngest grade level.
“She’s so responsible and caring and has such a connection with the students and the staff. We hope she’s a Hawk for a long time.”
In nominating Figueroa, Bibiano described her as positive, committed, and caring.
“The work you and the teachers you support are doing lays the foundation for a future filled with academic achievement, self-confidence, and a love for learning,” he said in the nomination.
“Your nurturing presence here at Hay Branch creates a warm and supportive environment where young minds can thrive.”
Patricia Johnson – Maude Moore Wood Elementary
In the early 1990s Johnson and her husband agreed she needed a job that would parallel their young children’s schedule, so she found one working in the cafeteria at Duncan Elementary School, located on what was then Fort Hood.
She found more than a job with a convenient schedule.
She started working in the school cafeteria in 1992 and stayed until the school closed 24 years later. Johnson moved on to Alice Douse Elementary School in 2017 and a few years later when Maude Moore Wood Elementary opened, she was tapped to manage the cafeteria.
Now in her 31st year in KISD, Johnson said it’s the children that motivate her.
“For some, you are the first face they see,” she said. “It’s a chance to interact and talk with them. When you tell a child, ‘Good morning, how are you,’ it’s truly helps them. From there, they say, ‘Good morning.’”
“It’s what you make out of it,” she said of the work. “You have to like it. You have to like kids period. If you go into it and you can’t deal with kids, it’s best for you to not get into it. That’s my opinion.”
Even when a child seems oblivious, the longtime school cafeteria worker said they are listening.
“They don’t forget. They come back and say, ‘Good morning,’ It makes you feel good. You can say things to make them feel good. They enjoy it. I enjoy it.”
According to the STEEL Award nomination, Johnson’s “hard work in leading this team as they provide healthy meals has helped create a welcoming atmosphere that truly embodies the spirit of supporting the education and empowerment of our learners.”
The three words to describe the cafeteria manager are dependable, servant leader, and personable.
“Ms. Johnson exudes the saying, “service with a smile”, with steel-like determination, she does everything necessary to run the most efficient and effective cafeteria with exceptional customer service,” Principal Amber Dibble said.
Albert Gonzalez – Union Grove Middle School
Albert Gonzalez taught at the college level 12 years at Tarleton State University and Texas A&M University Central Texas. During much of that time, he managed a local automotive business.
Later, he made the move to teaching at the middle school level, where he has been for 17 years, all at Union Grove Middle School.
“The realization that I have a purpose,” he said, is what keeps him teaching.
Once or twice a year a former student seems to come up to him and surprise him with memories of Gonzalez’s class that led them to a particular job or other important life decision.
“Most of the time it’s the kids who seem to be flying under the radar who are hanging on every word you say,” he said.
“I can’t think of a better compliment than knowing that I had some effect on a student’s life. That’s the biggest award I can think of receiving.”
Union Grove Principal Paula Lawrason chose the words passionate, caring and student-driven to describe the science teacher.
“Every student gets a nickname based on their name or personality and they treasure those names,” the principal said in the nomination.
“We hear the line of former students coming back to greet you during Meet the Teacher Night is like standing in line for a ride at Disney World.”
He also is known for exciting, relevant science lessons that tend to move students to a greater love of the content area.
“We’re here to thank you,” the nomination stated, “not just for the memorable lessons, but for building strong relationships with your students and their families.”
The STEEL awards, made of steel and fabricated, polished, and painted by KISD Career Center students, embody strength, resilience, and durability.

Computer Aide from Clear Creek Elementary was similarly appreciated. Mr. Robert Magonigal serves the campus during the day, and in the evenings teaches a free computer skills class to KISD parents and community members.
"Robert has been a blessing to our parenting program for several years and deserves to have his work honored in this way," said Christianne Shinn, Director for Federal and State Programs.
"He is a true servant leader. Robert is fantastic at making parents and community members feel comfortable learning computer skills. He is able to customize his class instruction to best meet the needs of his learners. His classes allow parents to gain confidence in using technology successfully."
Bilingual teacher Moraima Rosario from Pershing Park Elementary was named one of the first recipients of the district's prestigious employee recognition in the new year.
Ms. Moraima Rosario, Bilingual Teacher at Pershing Park Elementary, is known for her creative lessons and ability to connect with students and their parents.
Rosario began her career at KISD as a Teacher's Aide, and later served as the campus' Parent Liaison before becoming a certified teacher. She selflessly inspires her colleagues and volunteers her time to host professional development after-school and on the weekends in order to teach academic English to bilingual aides.
"As a coworker, she inspires me every day to be a better person. She goes out of her way for her students, their parents, and other staff. Her students engage in their learning because she makes it fun and her data reflects it," said Pershing Park's Campus Instructional Specialist Ruth Lake.
Groundskeeper Dave Vasquez has the word “lead” in his job title, and has caught the attention of his supervisor – in a good way!
“Dave is a reliable employee who takes pride in his work,” said KISD Executive Director for Facilities Services Adam Rich.
“He is always welcoming and comes to work with a smile on his face. He is loved by the KISD community and is known for his dedication and kind spirit,” said Rich. “Dave makes KISD beautiful with his gardening and groundskeeping abilities!”
“We often hear from campus or district staff that his efforts are noticed and greatly appreciated. His tireless work ethic radiates through the department, and he does all of this humbly without seeking recognition.”
During award presentations, Superintendent John Craft explained that the award, made of steel, is a strong, resilient substance that matches the district employee recipients. STEEL means Supporting the Education and Empowerment of Learners. KISD announces two STEEL award recipients a month.
The lead math teacher at Manor is similarly appreciated. Manor Principal Rhea Bell said this about Nelson:
“He is an Amazing teacher, always kind and always looking for solutions to challenges.”
She said Nelson is highly respected by students and colleagues alike.
“He is a committed Manor Ram and we are blessed to have him serve our school,” she said of the 20-year KISD teacher.
“John Nelson is a highly knowledgeable math teacher with an immense heart for students and their academic outcomes,” Bell said.
“He leads the math department as the math lead teacher, helps other staff members with instructional ideas or technology needs, and stands at the ready to chaperone student events, attend ball games and grill for the staff or concession stand.
“When I think of a Manor Ram, I immediately think of John and all that he means to all of us! He is the epitome of what it means to be a Manor Ram!”
