Hello, my name is Carla O'Rourke and I am the School Counselor at Cataract Elementary School. I live south of Sparta with my husband, Shannon, and our children, Kari, Michael, and Katie. This is my tenth year as School Counselor in the Sparta Area School District. I was a School Counselor at Sparta High School for five years and this is my fifth year at the elementary level. I also work at Southside Elementary and Lakeview Montessori School. I attended the University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse for my undergraduate degree and the University of Wisconsin - Platteville for my Master's Degree in School Counseling as well as the Viterbo University Graduate program in Educational Leadership. I am originally from Ontario, Wisconsin and graduated from Royall High School. I enjoy snowmobiling, camping, scrap booking and spending time with my family.

I look forward to working with the students and families of Cataract this school year.
