504 Specialist

Kala Banks
Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, I have always had a passion for education and supporting student success. I began my career as a middle school science teacher in Mesquite ISD. I later served as a Science Instructional Lead in Dallas ISD, working alongside teachers to enhance science instruction and create meaningful learning experiences.
Now in my third year at Shepton High School, I’m proud to serve as the Student Support Liaison. In this role, I partner with students, families, and staff to ensure every student has the tools and support they need to reach their full potential. My primary responsibilities include Section 504, MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports), and Accelerated Instruction.
