Liz Stokes Terry '75

Liz Stokes Terry graduated from Julius T. Wright in 1975. While there, she was Head Cheerleader, Class Team Captain, UMS Commencement Sponsor, UMS Key Club Sweetheart, and a member of the Softball Team, the Board of Directors for March of Dimes TAP, and Presidential Classroom for Young Americans. After graduation, she continued her education at the University of Alabama where she received a BA in History and a double minor in Art History and English.

Many people assume that Liz Terry is the official school photographer, but she’d tell you she’s really just a mom with a camera who loves the school and the students and enjoys chronicling their lives. Terry has always given her time and her talents in a creative way. In 1999, a friend asked her to photograph her child’s state championship baseball game. The picture she took at the end of the game started it all. That picture went viral and wound up in every UMS-Wright publication. That fall, a student asked her if she would photograph his senior football season which happened to be Coach Curtis’ first year at UMS-Wright. She told Coach Curtis in order to properly film the players, she would need full access to pep rallies, pregame, sideline, the box, the locker room… everywhere so that she could document the whole season and the whole story. As basketball season approached, another student asked her to document his basketball season. Once baseball season came back around, she was hooked and hasn’t stopped since.

Her gift to the school, her time and her talent, provides a gift like no other – memories.
