KELLER ISD AND VLK ARCHITECTS
AN INTENTIONALLY EXCEPTIONAL PARTNERSHIP
VLK Architects has had the pleasure of working with
Keller ISD for over 30 years. Throughout that time
together, we have experienced the immense growth
the school district has faced, while maintaining the
culture of academic excellence for which Keller ISD
is known.
We have delivered facilities that provide for that
culture from projects like the district’s second high
school in 1995, Fossil Ridge, to LEED Certified
Ridgeview Elementary School that received the
Caudill Citation of Special Honor from the Texas
Association of School Boards and Texas Association
of School Administrators. One of our more recent
projects was the renovations and additions at
Keller High School. As a graduate of Keller High
School (’96), I could not be more proud of being a
part of continuing the Keller High School tradition
of excellence, and providing a next generation
learning environment for Keller children for
generations to come.
At VLK, we have many employees that live in
Keller, and whose children have gone through
KISD schools, as have their friends and family.
The opportunities to design schools for those
families is something we truly cherish, and it makes
our partnership with Keller ISD that much more
important.
Thank you Keller ISD for allowing us to be a part of
an exceptional school district, providing exceptional
learning environments for your students.
