Carole Farthing is serving her second term on the Board of Education. Reared in a family of educators, she learned early to value education. She had a teaching career of 34 years, 22 of those in Independence. She and her husband, Don, have two daughters and six grandchildren.

Carole's daughters graduated from IHS, as have two of her granddaughters. One of those granddaughters is about to begin a teaching career of her own. A grandson will enter IHS this fall.

Having a strong commitment to education for all children, Carole wanted to be involved in a different way.
