Tenesha Simpson-Wilson

Foods and Nutrition Teacher, Asheville High School

I’m originally from the beautiful tropical island of Jamaica and bring over 18 years of experience in education. I’ve taught and served in various leadership roles across Jamaican schools, including Grade 12 Coordinator, Exam Coordinator, and Work Experience Coordinator. My passion for Career and Technical Education (CTE) was inspired by a nurturing instructor who skillfully connected classroom learning to real-world experiences—something I now strive to do for my students. I’m committed to preparing young people for meaningful futures through relevant and engaging instruction. A fun fact about me: I can dance to just about any genre of music!
