Coach Vara is excited to begin her teaching and coaching career at Hall Middle School. A recent graduate of Tarleton State University, she is proud to join the Roo family as an 8th grade History teacher and girls athletics coach.

Originally from Glen Rose, Texas, Coach Vara has always had a passion for sports, teamwork, and helping others grow. She believes that the lessons learned through athletics—hard work, perseverance, and collaboration—can help students succeed both in the classroom and beyond.

Outside of school, Coach Vara enjoys staying active, spending time with family and friends, and cheering on her favorite sports teams. She also loves spending time with her dog, Duke, who keeps life fun and active.

Coach Vara chose to become a teacher and coach because she wants to make a positive impact on the lives of young people. Her goal is to create a classroom and team environment where every student feels supported, challenged, and encouraged to believe in themselves both academically and athletically. She is looking forward to a great school year and is excited to build meaningful relationships with her students and their families.
