After graduating from Copperas Cove High School, Ashley Gabbard moved to Florida to support her husband’s military career. She began her journey in education as a paraprofessional in a classroom for hearing-impaired students. While working as a paraprofessional, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Florida State College at Jacksonville. Shortly after, she began teaching at S. Bryan Jennings Elementary in Orange Park, Florida, where she taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. During this time, she also earned her Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Sam Houston State University.
In 2018, Mrs. Gabbard returned to Texas and joined Ferris ISD as a 4th-grade teacher. While teaching, she pursued and completed her second master’s degree in Educational Administration from the University of North Texas. After earning her certification, she was hired as the Assistant Principal at Felty Elementary. Mrs. Gabbard is thrilled to be part of the Felty community and is passionate about helping students and teachers achieve their goals.
