ASHLEY STAINBACK

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS GRADE CHAIR AND MATH TEACHER

2004–2023

For nearly two decades, Ashley Stainback has brought tremendous dedication, humility, and joy (also J.O.Y.) to Wesleyan.

“Since I started in 2004, the buildings have blossomed like flowers in springtime, but what makes Wesleyan the school that it is has not changed,” explains Stainback. “The people that make up the faculty and staff all have a servant’s heart, love for kids, and desire to share the gospel in words and actions with their students.”

“My students, no matter the age, are lovable, challenging, and enthusiastic,” reflects Stainback. “It is an honor to witness a student’s growth and maturity, watching them develop into the person God intends them to be. It is an extraordinary gift to be a small part of their journey.”

Joseph Koch, high school principal, reflects that “Ashley’s remarkable ability to balance her formidable skill set with a deep commitment to serving others is truly admirable and serves as an incredible model for others.”

As Stainback moves on to her next chapter in Savannah, Georgia, she is looking forward to renovating a historic home, taking frequent trips to the beach, and being closer to Mickey Mouse.
