Mrs. Kara Chastain is a Southern Utah native who grew up knowing she wanted to teach. She graduated from Dixie State University (Utah Tech) in 2018 with her English Education degree. She taught at Desert Hills Middle School for several years until her and her family moved to Northern Utah and has been teaching at Utah Online since 2024. She is married to her best friend Ricky and they are the lucky parents to four beautiful (and wild) children. When she is not teaching she loves to go to events such as concerts, stand up comedy shows, plays, etc. Mrs. Chastain is also an avid reader and traveler. She is looking forward to another year of helping students be successful in their academic pursuits!
