Installing Pro plugins for my site
-
I am a long-time WP user/site admin and I have professional plugins (that I cannot legally share with other WP users) that I want to use, but there is no plugins tab in the template chosen. The template was chosen by a lady in our organization that got everything through WP.com… how do I get my pro plugin(s) active on my site without sharing? Is there a swtch on WP.com that will allow me to add my own plugins to my template; or is this template just the first one I have seen without a plugin tab? (never seen this before as I typically install outside WP.com)

re: plugins
You are confusing wordpress.com hosted blogs and wordpress.org software installs.There is no FTP access https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/ and no blogger installed plugin capability. https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
Blogger installed plugins are not permitted here at WordPress.com for various security reasons. No upgrade changes that reality.
This guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
