Victoria H. Allen

Hey y'all!

My name is Vicky Allen and I am so excited to teach English Language Arts in 8th grade here at Valley Springs Middle School.

I moved to Asheville in 2006 to attend the University of North Carolina at Asheville. I graduated with my degree in Literature in 2010 and began teaching with Buncombe County Schools. I have two Master's degrees from Western Carolina University in English (2021) and Comprehensive English Education (2025). I am currently conducting action research in my classroom about the effectiveness of word puzzles in the middle school classroom. 

In my classroom students read, write, speak, think, and move every single day. We read challenging texts and engage in rigorous activities and discussions that push us to learn and grow. Assignments and announcements are posted via Google Classroom regularly. Grades are posted on Infinite Campus and updated every Tuesday.

My outside of school interests include hanging out with my husband and little puppy dog, reading, travelling, and drinking lots of coffee. I am so happy that you are here!
