Ashley Goodrich

I love teaching my middle schoolers, and it’s my first year! I pour my love of reading and writing into them, and they make me laugh. 😁

Tell us why you became a teacher

My husband lost his job. I needed to fill the gap, but I wanted it to be something fulfilling. Teaching is what I was made for! It only took three career changes to find it. 😁

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have become Mrs. Hoodrich simply because I got a tattoo. Long story! But finding the whiteboard notes about how much I matter is why I know I’m where I’m supposed to be.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to invest in my school and my students - maybe a fun field trip! Paying off the student loans I’ve acquired as an Option 6 student would be a quite beneficial to my family!
