C.J. Prater
Carla "C.J." Prater has been severely deaf since she was 6 months old. She attended Central Institute for the Deaf in St. Louis for 4 years where she learned to speak orally and read lips. She then attended public school at the age of 7 in Jackson, Missouri until she graduated from Jackson High School.
After high school, C.J. attended Southeast Missouri University where she majored in Horticulture. In 1985, she started her first career at a 3-acre greenhouse business in North Carolina. However, due to bad health working in those greenhouses, she had to pursue another career.
By the late 1990's after working several unsatisfactory jobs, C.J. decided to pursue a career in Mathematics Education by attending Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri. After graduation, she began working for Kentucky School for the Deaf (KSD) in Danville, Kentucky during the fall of 2000. In 2004 during her fourth year at KSD, she received her Master of Arts degree virtually at the University of St. Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas.
