Kara Burroughs
SPED Teacher
I’m a Special Education (SSN) teacher with a passion for learning and helping others grow. I love traveling, reading, and spending time with my family. I’m married to a PE teacher, and we have a wonderful fifth-grade daughter. I believe every student can thrive when given the right support, encouragement, and opportunities to learn in their own unique way.
