I am Kala McCollum, the Hospitality and Tourism teacher at Daphne High School. I am a native of Mobile, AL where I attended McGill Toolen Catholic High School and I am a 1995 graduate. I went on to further my career at Alabama Agricultural & Mechanical University. I earned a B.S. degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a focus on child development and also a Masters from the same university in 2002 in Family and Consumer Science education.  I have an Educational Specialist degree in Teacher Leader from the University of West Alabama as well. I have been an educator and teaching since 2002 .

I have a passion for children and education and I am excited about what I teach and love to give my students the best opportunity to exceed and become students who excel in every endeavor. In my spare time I love going to the beach and spending time with my family. I have two children Madison and Aidan and a loving husband Darrell.

I am excited to be apart of the Trojan family! GoTrojans!
