A Message from the Principal
What an amazing year! I am so proud of all of our students, and all they accomplished during the 2018-2019 school year. Watching our graduates cross the stage was an awesome moment for me. My first year as principal was when the class of 2019 began 9th grade. I truly feel as though I have learned as much from them as they did from this amazing staff over the past four years. I am so proud of each and every one of our graduates.
As I get ready to transition to a new adventure, I keep reflecting on how grateful I am for my time at Ashland High School. I am so proud of the work that has been done with student leaders, teachers, and support staff to strive every day to make this an even better place to go to school tomorrow than it is today. My heart is full as I reflect on the students and families I have had the pleasure of supporting through the years, and I look forward to continuing to hear about their successes. I am excited to be an Ashland High School parent next year, so you will still be seeing me around. Thank you for making this such an amazing 7 years.
With Gratitude,
Erika
