Administration
Principal- Dr. Stephanie Alexander
Greetings,
As the Principal of Ashford Middle School, I am elated to serve our faculty, staff, students, and community. I share in the vision of shaping our future by embracing challenges together. I am committed to encouraging our students to do their best and our faculty/staff to know they are equipped to develop the academic excellence of our outstanding students.
Ashford Middle School stands on the pillars of communication and teamwork. Each day, we promote character and intelligence. As one of my favorite quotes states, the function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically...intelligence plus character-that is the goal of a true education.
Let’s work together to develop our students to be Synergetic, Talented, Intelligent, Neat, and Goal-oriented Individuals. We look forward to working with you and showing our Jacket Pride!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Alexander, Ed.D.

Assistant Principal- Michael Dempsey
Welcome to Ashford Middle School! I am honored and excited to serve as your Assistant Principal. I am thrilled to join a school community with such a strong tradition of excellence, pride, and Yellow Jacket spirit!
As we begin this new journey together, I look forward to building relationships with our students, families, staff, and community. Middle school is a time of incredible growth, and my goal is to help create an environment where every student feels safe, supported, challenged, and inspired to succeed.
One thing I already know about Ashford is that the Yellow Jackets don’t back down from challenges. Yellow Jackets work hard, look out for one another, and show pride in everything they do. I encourage every student to bring that same determination into the classroom, on the field, on the stage, and in their daily interactions with others. When we work together and give our best effort, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.
I am excited to celebrate your success, support you through challenges, and be an active part of the amazing traditions that make AMS special. Together, we will make this a year filled with learning, growth, laughter, and plenty of Yellow Jacket pride.
Thank you for welcoming me back into the Yellow Jacket family. My door is always open, and I cannot wait to meet each of you. Let’s have a fantastic year and continue building a school community that makes every Yellow Jacket proud!
Once a Yellow Jacket, always a Yellow Jacket- let’s make it a great year!
