School Overview

Audie Murphy Middle School is a public school located in Fort Hood, Texas, and operates under the jurisdiction of the Killeen Independent School District (KISD).

The campus is named in honor of Audie Murphy, the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II, reflecting a strong connection to the local military heritage and the values of service and leadership.
