We have exciting news Kilgore Bulldog family! Please help us welcome Ms. Emily Dean (soon to be Mrs. Clarke) as Kilgore High School’s newest assistant band director and percussion director!

Ms. Dean joins Kilgore after serving as Percussion Director for Longview ISD and teaching percussion students throughout the East Texas and DFW areas during her college career. She earned her Bachelor of Music Education from Texas Christian University after receiving her Associate of Arts from Tyler Junior College.
