Mrs. Barbara Plaisted was born in Cuba, but moved to the United States at the age of
two. She graduated with a major in Liberal Arts and a minor in History from Cal Poly
Pomona in California where she also received her teaching certification. She has been
an educator for 33 years in a variety of grade levels in both public and private schools
in California, Texas and Lima, Peru. During her time teaching in the Diocese of Orange, she earned her Religion Certification. Teaching 5th and 6th grade Religion at SEASCS has been God's gift to her because she is able to share the beauty of our one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church with the wonderful children of our community.
She enjoys reading, traveling and exploring new cultures and foods. She and her
husband of 31 years have two children, a lovely daughter-in-law, two beautiful
granddaughters and a grandson due this Fall. She is a self-proclaimed tea snob, and
she also enjoys antique shopping, long walks, and she is a huge fan of Jane Austen's
novels.
