My name is Ashley Jenkins. This is my 12th year of teaching at Webb A. Murray, and my 15th year of teaching all together. I have taught 1st, 4th ,5th and this is my 3rd year teaching Kindergarten!! I grew up in Hickory and graduated from St. Stephens High School. I attended Appalachian State University and graduated with a degree in Elementary Education in 1998. I earned a Masters degree from Gardner Webb University in 2013.

My husband, Jeff, and I have been married for 20 years, and have three daughters, Bailey (19), who is a Freshman at Wingate University, Rylie (15), who attends St. Stephens High School & Avery (11) who attends Clyde Campbell Elementary. I love spending time with my family going to Appalachian State University football games (GO MOUNTAINEERS!), and taking trips to the beach and mountains.
