I’m Ashley Allen-White and I teach 9th grade Algebra I. I live with my wife and many cats, dogs, and reptiles. We enjoy attending community events, supporting local youth, playing board games, doing puzzles, and going to surrounding states to camp, hike, fish, ski, and enjoy the outdoors.
As an educator, I take pride in serving my community by helping students re-examine their relationship with mathematics, unlocking potential in themselves they may not have seen before. I use my passion for teaching math to inspire students of all ages to work towards goals they have for themselves with confidence in their math skills along the way. I encourage students to develop tangible structures and models of reasoning that help them relate their mathematical understanding to various situations, both personally and globally.

I grew up in 6 states and 7 school districts, but the classroom has always felt like home. I earned my BA from Berkeley, studying the intersection of modern art and computer science- which is a concept I love exploring in the geometry classroom! Before coming to TSAS, I taught math and graphic design in other TPS high schools, and worked in the STEM space for tribal governments and local nonprofits.
I have previously served as a teacher fellow with the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Outside of school, I love to crochet, weave, play trivia, and go on road trips with my husband and our dog.
I attended public schools from kindergarten through earning my masters, and I believe there is no greater institution for building knowledge, community, and life skills.

I’m an Algebra II teacher with a passion for helping students understand and appreciate math. Outside of teaching, I’m working toward a Master’s in Library Science and plan to pursue a PhD in counseling psychology to become a children’s counselor. I love spending time with my five cats—Nevi, Cece, Tadpole, Luna, and Goob—along with crafting, reading, spending time with my family and friends, and binging my favorite TV shows. My goal is to combine my love for education and mental health to support children in all aspects of their growth.
As a teacher, I do the work because I believe middle and high school are a foundational time that helps students develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. I love seeing students grow in their understanding and gain confidence as they master complex concepts. Knowing that I’m helping them build skills they’ll use in the real world, whether in their future studies or careers, is incredibly rewarding. The relationships I build with my students and the chance to support their growth makes teaching fulfilling for me.
