Candlelight Vigil at AHS
Superintendent Hattrick Speaks on Bridging Education and Healthcare at “Pipeline to Progress," an event hosted by the Ashland Chamber of Commerce.
AHS Culinary Program students were awarded 1st and 2nd place at the inaugural Southern Oregon Kitchen Klash!!!
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

These cords mark their leadership and commitment to amplifying student voices throughout the year.
