Ashley Terrell
Prior to joining ReGen, Ashley served as the Principal, Assistant Principal, 9th grade counselor, and BARR coordinator at North Lawndale College Prep. Having earned her B.S. in Child Development, with an emphasis in Leadership at Northern Illinois University, Ashley’s mission is to advocate for educational equity for all scholars. She started her career as a 9th grade English instructor and later transitioned into an 11th grade English instructor and Grade Level Lead at Johnson College Prep. Ashley was recognized as Teacher of the Year twice during her time at Johnson College Prep and was deserving of this award due to her stellar curriculum knowledge and strong classroom culture that resulted in her scholars’ growth – exceeding the Noble Network’s ACT/SAT performance growth. As Ashley embarks on her 2nd year at CICS Washington Park, her team's top focus is ensuring scholars are focused on the following levers to success: behavior, attendance, and grades. Ashley looks forward to working with families, scholars, and the entire Washington Park community to yield extraordinary results and to ensure scholars go to and through college.
