My daughter attended Killian Elementary School since Kindergarten to 6th grade. She’s had the best teachers from Mrs. Motter, Mrs. Shimmel, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Smith, to Mr. You! All the teachers here are caring, knows how to motivate and assess your child’s individual learning styles! They encourage your children to go above and beyond. The school stands for Respect, Responsibility, and Readiness! My daughter learned so much and continues to advance in every grade under the great teaching and influence of Killian school. Every teacher is positive and has a lot of passion in their work. I must say Principal Magana runs an honorable school with amazing teachers that inspire our children to learn and work hard. The parents in this school are very close and we all have in common to want to help our children succeed in school and in life! Killian has served our Rowland Heights community well, developing and preparing our children for a great future to come! Thank you for all your support Principal Magana and Superintendent Dr. Julie Mitchell! Your love of education inspires on us all to do better and excel! Rowland School District has the best schools!! Go KILLIAN Cougars!!

My son has attended Killian since kindergarten. He has excelled and raves about all of his teachers every year. They encourage, take the time to actually teach, challenge and recognize. All steps which build confidence and successful children. I applaud the emphasis and innovative ideas Mr. Gass is taking in building these children's character. From the simplicity of the core values which build a more rounded human being to the adopted University in the classroom that plants the seed for a stronger future in each student, to strategic emphasis (awards) on state scores/testing and the Cum Laude Awards again recognizing their accomplishments and challenging them to reach for the next level. Engraving the importance of the value of education in all students and the desire to approach it and each other with integrity. I however believe that the teachers need to communicate and listen TO the students more keenly.
