Raider Family, 

Welcome to another year of greatness here at Parkhill Junior High! 

If I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting you, I hope that you will introduce yourself to me sometime soon. In the meantime, here is a little bit about myself:  I am a fourth generation principal and I can honestly say that I am living my dream job! I am excited to come to work everyday and interact with our amazing students and staff. I have been married for 11 years and we have two sons: Ames (10) and Abbott (6). An interesting fact about me is that I also work in the wedding industry as a makeup artist and hair stylist.

As you may have heard, the theme for the district this year is, “Dream Big” and we will be doing just that this year at Parkhill Junior High. Our staff and students have all written down their dreams on a star and they hang all over our building. I plan on sharing some of these dreams with you in our newsletter each week. It is a great reminder that our students have BIG dreams, and we want to do everything that we can here at Parkhill to help our students work towards their dreams.

That being said, a partnership between parents and the school is one of the ways that we can help make our student’s dreams come true. We know that you know your child best, and because of that, we WANT to hear from you. Please reach out to your child’s teacher, counselor, AP, or myself if you ever want clarification, assistance, or you feel we need to know something about your child.

It’s going to be an amazing year!

Dream Big,

Ashlee Baker
