Ms. Kara Powell

My name is Kara Powell.  This will be my 15th year in public education.  My teaching career started at ENMU-Roswell in Roswell, NM where I was an adjunct professor in the Medical Assisting and Phlebotomy programs for 3 years.  After 17 years in education, I am always excited about the opportunity to grow and learn about new educational approaches that are in the best interest of all students.  That is the primary reason behind my decision to complete a Masters of Education in Career & Technical Education. 

I love the outdoors and will find any excuse to visit a state park or nature preserve.  My love of nature and the science behind preserving our most precious resources fueled my decision to teach 4-8 Science.  Teaching is the opportunity of a lifetime.   

Growing up in the booming oilfields of southeastern New Mexico, we chased horned toads and captured vignerons.  I never saw any aliens but have great memories of tumbleweeds and winter wonderlands of snow.
