Carol Terry

Carol Terry currently serves as the Field Coordinator for Fine Arts for the Syracuse City School District where she heads the Music, Visual Arts and Theater programs.  During the six years in the position, the district has developed pre-k-12 curricula for the arts and continues to work on integrating the arts into all facets of education.  The philosophy that we need to educate all students to be knowledgeable in the arts and to be well-rounded, literate adults who will be a part of a global society drives her commitment to the arts.  This belief draws artists from a variety of sources to assist students in their learning.  The combination of teaching staff, Teaching Artists and Institutions of Higher Learning come together to provide rich experiences for the SCSD students. Her teaching experiences in the West Genesee and LaFayette School Districts and the Onondaga Nation School have provided a rich background for her current position.

Ms. Terry serves on the boards of the Everson Museum of Art, the Community Folk Art Center, Music Journey’s, Inc, Stone Canoe and on the education committees for the Syracuse Opera, Everson Museum of Art and Syracuse Symphony. She has also been instrumental in the development of the Partnership for Better Education with Syracuse University, LeMoyne College, Onondaga Community College, SUNY ESF and SUNY Upstate.
