Mrs. Mary Vance

Hi, My name is Mary Vance!  I am McCurdy’s art teacher!  This is my first year teaching art at McCurdy, and my 6th year in education.  I hold a Studio Art degree from Maryville University, and I am currently working on my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Art Education.  When I am not at school, I love to watch new movies, especially sci-fi, fantasy, and dystopian.  I love to play volleyball and hang out with my fam.  I also love doing anything outdoors in nature.  I am excited to be at McCurdy and can’t wait to show off all of our Mustang’s artwork!

Mr. Charles Combs

My name is Charlie Combs, and this is my third year teaching music at McCurdy. I was born in St. Louis but grew up in Ohio, where I taught for eight years. I have a Bachelor’s from THE Ohio State University (where I was in the marching band for two years) and a Master’s from Capital University. I try to stay musically active outside of school by singing in my church’s choir and by playing my trombones, recorders, and ocarina. I also enjoy reading, swimming, video games, and learning Latin.
