🎉 Ashley Washam has been selected as one of the Top 15 Finalists for the 2027 Arkansas Teacher of the Year, a statewide honor recognizing exceptional teaching and leadership across Arkansas.
Washam will be recognized alongside other finalists on August 6 at the Governor’s Mansion. Each finalist receives a certificate and a $1,000 award provided by the Walton Family Foundation.
Earlier this year, Washam was named PCSSD’s District Teacher of the Year after being selected at the school level. She spent the last year serving Maumelle Middle School and will begin a new role as Dean of Students at Pine Forest Elementary for 2026–2027.
Congratulations on this well‑deserved recognition! Read more about her recognition here: https://www.pcssd.org/article/3046865 #ExpectBeliveSucceed

4th & 5th Graders: Here is something to look forward to! You will have BOTH Ms. Tucker, who will teach Language Arts and Mr. Dearasaugh who will teach Math and Science. Classes will switch mid-morning. Teachers will be able to focus on planning for their content area and students will have increased responsibility for their learning. While there may be some growing pains, this supports our school goal to dive deeper for student success!
