Assistant Athletic Director

Prosper ISD

Kristen Shelton is a servant-leader who plays a pivotal role in shaping the culture and consistency of athletics across Prosper ISD. During the launch of the brand-new Richland campus, she met individually with every head coach to identify program needs, then secured equipment, practice space, and community partnerships so that every sport—from football to swim, volleyball to water polo—could start the year with confidence and support. She drives long-term growth through initiatives like the Texas Way and the Quad A program for aspiring athletic administrators, giving coaches across all sports access to leadership development, mentorship, and clear pathways to advance.

Kristen also models hands-on leadership by helping prepare the football stadium on game days and creating weekly collaboration between middle school and high school staffs, building a unified pipeline for student-athletes. As a single mom balancing demanding responsibilities at home and at work, she is a powerful example of perseverance, compassion, and what it means to lead with both excellence and heart.
