Since joining the #A3TeachingTeam at Starr Elementary, Mrs. Vickery has been a breath of fresh air, bringing joy, rhythm, and harmony to the halls through her passion for Music Education. Her steady presence, true musical knowledge, and creativity have already made a lasting impact on both students and staff! 🎵💛

Mrs. Vickery began her teaching journey in 1992 at Union High School. After moving to Anderson in 1994, she taught in Anderson 4 and Anderson 5, serving at Townville Elementary, Riverside Middle, Varennes, Whitehall, McLees, and, most recently, Centerville Elementary, where she spent 12 wonderful years before joining Anderson 3.
Originally from Oklahoma, Mrs. Vickery has called many places home, including Texas, Tennessee, and Florida, before settling in South Carolina to attend Newberry College, where she earned her Bachelor of Music Education. She and her husband, Shane, have two grown daughters: Holly, who lives in Pennsylvania, and Anslie, who lives in Atlanta.
When she’s not inspiring the next generation of musicians, Mrs. Vickery enjoys singing with the GAMAC Chorale, traveling to visit her daughters, hiking to find waterfalls, and relaxing in her backyard with her three dachshunds.

We’re so thankful for the energy, heart, and harmony Mrs. Vickery brings to Starr Elementary! She truly makes music fun, meaningful, and uncommon! 🎶 🐯
