Academic Dean

Kayla Forrest

I'm Kayla Forrest, and I am excited to serve as the Academic Dean at Liles Early Learning Academy! I have been in education for 15 years, serving as a classroom teacher, Campus Instructional Specialist, Teaching & Learning Coach, and District ELA Specialist. Working with young learners has always been my passion, and I am excited to support our students, staff, and families. I am a proud product of Goose Creek schools and graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and Lamar University. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons, Everett and Grant. I look forward to a wonderful year with our Explorers!
