C. E. Ellison High School is a public high school in the city of Killeen, Bell County, Texas for grades 9-12. It is one of six high schools in the Killeen Independent School District, and is classified as a 5A school by the UIL.[2] Ellison High School opened in 1978 and the first graduation class was held in 1979. The Ellison High School football program received a donation of $25,000 from the American television channel NBC and automobile maker Toyota, for their participation in the Friday Night Lights Hometown Sweepstakes contest. The former University of Kentucky head basketball coach, Billy Gillispie, was the head coach at Ellison in the early 1990s, leading the school to the 5A state basketball tournament in 1993. For the 2021-2022 school year, the school was given a "B" by the Texas Education Agency.[3]
