Terry Odell is the public member of the Advisory Board. She is a former teacher of 30 years, having previously worked at Bishop Brady High School. Terry spent several years at Concord Hospital as a Spiritual Care Counselor and Patient Relations Coordinator before leaving to pursue a Seminary education leading to ordination as an interfaith minister. She specializes in celebrations of life and personally designed sacred ceremonies.

Terry brings a different perspective to the Advisory Board. At one point, Terry was a grandparent in the school community, but her affiliation is more through her personal relationships with a couple of teachers and administrators. Terry greatly benefits the Board through her thoughtful questions and unique perspectives. She is deeply interested in mental health and the school’s work with social-emotional learning. Terry has two grown children and four grandchildren. She lives in Penacook with her husband. In her limited free time, she loves spending time with her grandchildren.
