My name is Kara Plouffe and I am starting to teach my 25th year at Houghton School in Sterling.

I was raised on a Thoroughbred horse farm in Sterling and have lived in Sterling most of my life.  I am married to Sergeant Tim Plouffe and we have a big family together with 6 kids.  I went to UMASS Amherst for my undergraduate degree and then graduated with a Master's degree in Elementary Education from Wheelock College in Boston.  I have taught First grade and Kindergarten, part time and full time.  I enjoy working with young children watching them grow in all areas of learning.  I enjoy exercising, hiking, photography, spending time with my family and I love to eat ice cream! 

I am excited  for a new school year!
