Burkburnett Athletics is excited to announce Destini Banks as the new Lady Bulldog Head Volleyball Coach!
Destini Banks is a collegiate coach at Alcorn State and a former Division I student-athlete with a strong background in both volleyball and track and field. A graduate of Crowley High School, Coach Banks continued her academic and athletic career at Mississippi Valley State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a master’s degree in Sports Administration.
During her collegiate career, Coach Banks was a five-year starter in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) as a middle blocker, competing in a high-energy conference and consistently adapting to fast-paced play. She earned MVP honors at the Rajin' Cajun Volleyball Classic in 2018 and finished her career with 304 kills and 112 blocks. Balancing a full academic load with the demands of Division I athletics, Coach Banks competed in both volleyball and track while demonstrating discipline and resilience on and off the court. As a graduate student, she also took on leadership roles, mentoring incoming players and helping shape the culture of the team.
Following her playing career, Coach Banks transitioned into coaching, gaining experience at multiple levels. She served as a graduate assistant for track and field at Mississippi Valley State University, volunteered as a coach at Crowley High School, and later worked as an assistant volleyball coach at Alcorn State University within the SWAC.
Destini Banks’ coaching philosophy centers on building a disciplined, competitive, and supportive environment where student-athletes can thrive. She emphasizes fundamentals, accountability, teamwork, and academic success while focusing on developing the whole athlete. With firsthand experience as a Division I athlete and collegiate coach, Coach Banks understands the commitment required to succeed and prioritizes clear communication and intentional player development. Her goal is to build a program that is not only successful but also respected, consistent, and sustainable for years to come.
Coach Banks has family in the local Texoma area, including former Wichita Falls News Channel 6 meteorologist and former OU running back, Jaden Knowles.
Fun fact: Outside of athletics, she has a creative side. At the age of 10, she began sewing lessons and participated in two fashion shows by age 13, once aspiring to become a fashion designer.

Burkburnett ISD Bond FAQs
Q: Can I vote on both propositions separately?
A: Yes. Voters should record their vote in each of the propositions on the ballot. Click the
link to the Bond Propositions page. https://www.burkburnettisd.org/o/bisd/page/2026-bond-propositions
Proposition A focuses on upgrading facilities across Burkburnett ISD. The proposition includes career and technical education with a complete CTE wing renovation at the high school, upgrades safety through new fire alarm and camera systems district-wide, and improves student spaces with auditorium upgrades, restroom renovations, playground shade structures, and locker room improvements. Additional funds would support parking lot enhancements, physical education facilities, and new transportation vehicles.
Proposition B proposes a new Multi-Purpose Indoor Activity Center at the north end of the football stadium. This climate-controlled facility would provide year-round training space for band, athletics, ROTC, and our elementary schools. The project also includes a new girls' soccer locker room.
