About the Media Staff

Media Specialist:
My name is Carolyn Page, and I have been a media specialist for 35 years. I attended East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Education / Elementary Education in 1971 and a Master of Arts degree in Library Service in 1973. My first experience as a media specialist was at Chapel Grove Elementary near Gastonia, North Carolina. After 3 years I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina where I was the media specialist at Enderly Park for 9 years and at Devonshire Elementary for 2 1/2 years. By then I was married to Howard Page and had a daughter, Katie. We moved to Asheville, North Carolina where my daughter and I became involved with parent co-operative schools -- The Caring Place Co-operative and Children’s Grammar School. In 1990, we moved to Greenville, South Carolina, and I became the media specialist at Cone. In 2004-2005, Cone Elementary and San Souci Elementary Schools were combined to create Cherrydale Elementary School, and we moved into our new building at 302 Perry Rd., Greenville, S. C.

After my first year as a library media specialist, I knew I was in the right career. I enjoy getting students "hooked" on books and helping them develop the research skills to locate the information that they will need in this changing world.

Honors:
In 1993-1994 the staff honored me as “Cone Elementary Teacher Of the Year”. Mrs. Black nominated me for 2002-2003 and 2005-2006 South Carolina Association of School Librarians School Library Media Specialist of the Year Award. Our beginning-of-the-year Media Center Brochure received the National School Public Relations Association (SCNSPRA) Award of Excellence - Special Purpose Publication for 2004 and 2005.

In addition to my duties as media specialist, I serve as our school's webmaster for the Cherrydale web site. Our web site has been the recipient of the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 Golden Web Awards which were presented by The International Association of Web Masters and Designers; The Teacher's Corner Award of Excellence for Educational Web Sites; South Carolina/ National School Public Relations Association Reward for Excellence in 2002-2003, 2003-2004 and 2006-2007 and Reward for Merit in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006; The School District of Greenville County Webmaster's Choice Award for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007; The Greenville School District "Best of the Web" Award for 2004 and 2007, and The School District of Greenville County Webmaster's Bronze Award in 2009-2010.
