Randall Curry

Randall Curry is a high school English teacher who specializes in creative writing. In his mid-forties, he brings a wealth of experience and empathy to his role. He fosters an environment of artistic exploration and expression.

As a teacher with more than two decades of experience, Randall has learned how to go above and beyond to nurture his students' creative talents. He organizes short story competitions, poetry open mics, and encourages journaling. In his school, students often find a close mentor and confidante in him, as he gives them practical advice in all matters from creative pursuits to discipline to life. The running joke is that he serves as an unofficial counselor, as students and colleagues find him more approachable than the school's official counselor.

His dedication doesn't end at the school campus. Budding artists of all kinds find like-minded community in his weekly writer’s community. They share their problems in a safe space and hone their craft under his guidance. The meetup challenges him too, as the breadth of information from various creative fields and experiences broadens his perspective to the unique and common challenges that artists face. Outside of school, Randall maintains an anonymous blog where he shares his writing and connects with a broader audience.

Randall’s unique perspective to teaching comes from a lifetime of writing. He started his writing career as a war journalist, and his time in conflict zones honed his sensitivity to the human condition. Randall is also a published poet under a pseudonym, with his work touching upon themes of love, loss, and the human experience.

His romantic life is the stuff of fairytales. Their story began in a bar where her singing knocked him out of his creative block and inspired him to write a song for her. Their daughter is following in her parents' artistic footsteps. With aspirations of becoming the next Wes Anderson, she's started out on her artistic journey posting content on her YouTube channel. The Curry household is a hub of creativity and support, where each member is encouraged to pursue their passions and dreams.
