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 34 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.
