Welcome to the MHS College and Career Page
My name is Kara Harper, the College & Career Coordinator for MHS. I began my career in education in 2000. I have been a teacher, university academic advisor, librarian and now the C&C Coordinator. I spent the first 35 years of my life in Oklahoma and the past 11 have been in Texas working for Magnolia ISD. I graduated with a BS in Education from Oklahoma City University in 1999 and my Masters in Library and Information Science from Sam Houston State University in 2020. My children are recent graduates of Magnolia High School and are currently in college. I am excited to navigate this journey with students, parents, staff and the community as we explore future opportunities.
