With a Master’s in Educational Administration and a history of fostering academic and athletic excellence, Coach Babin is passionate about developing student-athletes and creating a culture of success. We look forward to his leadership and the positive impact he will bring to our community.” Babin’s wife is also an employee of KISD, he told attendees at the board meeting.
