Ashley Long
6th Grade Team
Hi... my name is Ashley Long and I am so excited for this school year! I am actually a graduate of McKeel Academy of Technology. After graduating from MAT, I attended the University of South Florida and earned my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I am so blessed to have only ever taught right here at MAC! During my time here at McKeel Academy Central, I have had the pleasure of teaching first, third, and fourth grade. Two years ago, I was excited to move up and join the sixth grade team. I also teach my favorite subject, math! As I begin my sixteenth year teaching, my personal philosophy remains the same- no matter the age of the students in my class. I strive everyday to provide a classroom in which every student feels loved, welcome and uplifted- only then can we begin to learn together.
Looking forward to an AMAZING year...
