Ms. Ashli McDonald

Greetings! 

I graduated from Tarleton State University in December of 2008 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre. I've been teaching in the Houston area since 2009. I previously taught middle school Theatre but recently changed directions due to my passion for helping students advocate and aspire to new heights. 

I was a member of the TRIO funded Upward Bound project when I was in high school. This was a huge influence in my decision to become an AVID teacher at Willowridge. I wanted to help students become the best and brightest version of themselves. 

 

 

  • TECHNOLOGY

    Schoology is utilized in my classroom for turning in assignments, communication with students, reminders, quizzes and more. Due to this cell phones are allowed in class for educational purposes. Students are expected to have the Schoology app downloaded on their device in order to have it in my classroom.

    Students can login by going to http://www.fortbendisd.schoology.com and using their Office 365 student email address and computer access password.
