Hello Everyone,
My name is Ashley Turner and I am one of the Health & PE teachers at Johnstown Middle School. I have been teaching Health & PE since I started with the Johnstown School District in 2015. Teaching Health & PE has been a passion of mine since becoming a freshmen in high school. It has always been my dream to teach sports, fitness and health to the youth of our community. Coaching has also been a passion of mine. I have coaching experience in softball, soccer and track.
I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) in 2013 with my undergraduate degree in Health & PE. I also attended IUP for my Masters Degree in Athletic Coaching Education graduating in 2017. While at IUP for my undergrad I was on the Varsity Softball team. While on the team we won back to back conference championships (2011 & 2012) and made an appearance at the 2011 Division 2 College World Series.
I may have only been a three sport athlete in high school but I truly have a passion for all sports. If I would have been able to play more than just softball, soccer and track I would have! One of my favorite sports in hockey. I am a huge Pittsburgh Penguins fan along with the Pirates and Steelers. But if I had to choose the Penguins are my favorite.
