Ms. Kara Goodson

 

Hi! My name is Kara Goodson and I am so grateful to be beginning my first year with the Rice Raven family! I taught my first three years at Wilson Middle, also in Plano ISD. I teach in the Elevate Classroom and want each student in my room to love coming to my class! 

I received both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Stephen F. Austin State University, (axe ‘em, Jacks!) and am from the deep East Texas area. I'm currently in graduate school again, but this time I am pursuing my educational diagnostician certification and master's in special education at UT Tyler. I have one pup named Jackson and he goes pretty much everywhere with me! Prior to teaching, I worked in the radio-television and marketing industries.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, shopping, graphic design, baking, reading, and spending time with my sweet family and friends. I'm also spending this year wedding planning because I'm getting married in January 2024! I love attending live Broadway musicals. A few of my favorites are Rent, Hamilton, and The Lion King.

Cheers to a great year!
