Ashley is joining us for her fifth year of teaching classically. This will be her first year to teach at SEAS, but her experience in classical education is satisfactory. She first taught kindergarten at Founders Classical Academy in Flower Mound under Sam Vanderplas. She then came to SEAS as the Executive Assistant but had to move away due to family. While she was away she taught first grade at Founders Classical Academy in Leander. During her time in Leander she received Teacher of the Year for Grammar School. Now she is back and ready to help first graders grow spiritually and educationally.
