Ms. Ashley’s Mission: to show students that they have the choice and the ability to achieve to their highest potential.I set high expectations - behaviorally and intellectually - and hold students accountable for the decisions that they make. I give students the opportunity to enjoy the positive results when they choose to put forth their best effort.
