My name is Laura Boustead and I teach Middle School Social Studies at Kingsley-Pierson. I grew up in Hampton, IA and graduated from Hampton-Dumont High School in 1996. After high school, I attended Buena Vista Universtiy in Storm Lake where I majored in Elementary Education. I graduated from BVU in 2000 with a degree in Elementary Education, K-8 Reading, and PK-K Endorsement. Since my graduation I have added the K-8 Social Studies Endorsement to my teaching license. I began my teaching career at Alta Elementary as a Title I teacher. I continued my teaching career at Maple Valley Anthon Oto Community School District where I taught Kindergarten for 12 years and Third Grade for 2 years. In the Fall of 2014, I joined Kingsley-Pierson where I teach 6th Grade World History, 7th Grade Geography, and 8th Grade American History.
My family lives in Kingsley. My husband, Bart, is co-owner of Jim Harvey Insurance Agency. My son, Jackson, is a Junior and enjoys anything outdoors. My daughter, Gabby, is a Freshman and loves all sports. My youngest daughter, Briley, is in 6thgrade and loves school. When not in school, we enjoy golfing, boating in Storm Lake, and traveling to see family.
