Her 18+ years of volunteer service include PTO President roles at Pond Elementary and Eureka High, serving on various district level committees, co-chairing the successful Prop T campaign, and receiving the Rockwood Rose Award.

As a Rockwood Board of Education Director, Kary has represented the board on the CSIP, COPE, Advocacy, and Wellness committees. She also represents Rockwood on the Special School District Governance Committee.

Kary and her husband of almost 25 years, Jason (Lafayette ‘91), have two sons: Brady (Eureka ‘21) and Bennett (Eureka '25).
