Cara Frost joined Community School in 2011 and currently teaches kindergarten through eighth grade art, serves as a seventh grade advisor, leads the Art Club, and coaches Middle School volleyball.
Cara attended San Jose State on a Division 1 volleyball scholarship and went on to earn a BFA in art and art education at the University of Arizona.
Prior to joining Community School, Cara taught sixth through twelfth grade in Tucson, Arizona, where she also coached varsity volleyball.
Cara appreciates "the freedom to question the process and the trust encouraged by the administration, the faculty, and the students" at Community School, and, she says, "I love to watch the students and their passions grow. Mark making, storytelling, imagination, and innovation are all expressed within their creations, in their voice. It is beyond powerful."
When Cara is not teaching, she finds inspiration for her own art in the outdoors, her dogs, books, and her daughter.
