We are excited to have our newest staff members join our school community! Each person brings unique experiences, talents, and perspectives, and we're grateful they've chosen to be part of our team. New staff started on Thursday, Aug 20 with an orientation and opportunity to meet each other and learn the lay of the land.

Please join us in giving them a warm welcome! We can't wait to see the relationships they build, the ideas they bring, and the difference they'll make for our students.

Welcome to the team--we're so glad you're here! ❤️

Summer Learning in Action!

We are two-thirds of the way through our summer learning program, and students have had the opportunity to practice homesteading, make pasta, learn lacrosse, try yoga and engage in many other fun activities!

We are grateful to the teachers and staff who have made this program possible, and especially to our students for bringing their curiosity, energy and enthusiasm each day!

This morning, we proudly marched in the Southern Oregon Pride Parade — standing tall with our students, staff, families, and community to celebrate love, diversity, and acceptance. At ASD, we believe every student deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported — exactly as they are. Today was a joyful reminder of the power of unity, visibility, and the vibrant spirit of Southern Oregon. 💖 Thank you to everyone who showed up, cheered loud, and walked proud! #SOPride #AshlandPride #AllAreWelcome #AshlandSchoolDistrict #Pride2025

Ashland High School seniors Azaleah and Owen were honored this week by Superintendent Dr. Joseph Hattrick, who presented them with special black graduation honor cords in recognition of their service as student representatives to the Ashland School Board. These cords mark their leadership and commitment to amplifying student voices throughout the year. Azaleah and Owen's advocacy and dedication have made a lasting impact on both the board and their peers—congratulations to both on this meaningful distinction.
