Additionally, she has collaborated with principals, mentors and educator preparation programs statewide, and she has served as a marriage and family therapist.
Professional honors for Calton include being named an Assistant Principal of the Year for Region 4 and being selected as the ethics speaker for the 2025 Texas Counseling Association’s state conference.
