Staff Spotlight – Incredible Indian

We are proud to recognize Kara Wallace for her exceptional dedication and the positive impact she makes on students through the G.O.A.L.S. program. Mrs. Wallace consistently goes above and beyond to ensure her students are supported, challenged, and prepared for life beyond high school.

Mrs. Wallace is an outstanding mentor who works tirelessly to provide meaningful opportunities for her students. She collaborates with numerous local businesses to secure job placements and goes the extra mile by seeking out experiences that align with each student’s individual interests. Students in the G.O.A.L.S. program are excited, motivated, and look forward to their job placements each day.

Because of her commitment and advocacy, students leave her classroom better prepared to transition into college, training programs, or employment and to become confident, contributing members of society. We are incredibly grateful for the lasting difference she makes in the lives of her students.

Her knowledge of KCTC and her commitment to learning anything she doesn’t already know make her an invaluable resource to both students and staff.

We are incredibly grateful for the positivity, kindness, and professionalism Mrs. Wyatt brings to our district every day. She truly exemplifies what it means to be an Incredible Indian.
