About Me
My name is Mrs. Rebecca Ashton. I am a Charlotte native. My career did not begin as a teacher, but I am happy that I have finally found my way here. My career began in HR and Benefit Administration and then moved to Inventory Analysis at Snyder’s-Lance, Inc. (yep...crackers!). Even through all of these years, the teaching profession was always weighing on my heart. I am excited that I had the opportunity to begin teaching and to have this opportunity to work with the Class of 2024. I want to assure you that the needs of my scholars are my first priority. If there is a struggle, there are many options to overcome it. We have a variety of things that we are going to be learning this year!

Students will return to their home room class for "Chrome Room". Here, they are responsible for ensuring that their chromebooks are connected to the charger and placed in the correct slot. They are locked up nightly.
Additionally, please ensure that your scholar knows how they are getting home each day. This is very important for the student's safety.
