Meet Your Teacher: Ms. Priest

Hello! My name is Allison Priest, and it is my pleasure to teach your first grader this year. I moved to Fort Collins from Rochester, NY in August 2022. I love being able to see the beautiful mountains here! I have one 19-year-old son, and we love taking walks together and being out in nature. I have worn various hats in my professional endeavors which include special education, academic advising, healthcare, and English as a second language. This is my third year teaching first grade at Ascent. I just love the enthusiasm and wonder of our little ones!

I am looking forward to fostering wonder in the minds of our students as we build a solid foundation in math, history, science and literacy. I can't wait to get started as we learn the true, do the good and love the beautiful!

With gratitude,

Ms. Priest

Meet Your TA: Mrs. Whitt

Hello 1st grade families! It is an honor to serve Ms. Priest and your children this year as a teaching assistant at Ascent!

I grew up in a large family in rural Michigan. My studies took me to Pensacola Christian College where I graduated with my Undergraduate and Masters degrees in Art and English.

When I am not at school, you’ll most likely find me at my home in Windsor, or on the baseball field with my husband and three sons. A few of my interests include home decorating, music, baking, reading, and just doing life with family and friends.

Over the past 5 years, I have enjoyed many roles at Ascent, including parent volunteer, substitute teacher, and teaching assistant.

This year as a TA I look forward to interacting with your first grader on a daily basis. Training the minds and hearts of this next generation is not something I take lightly. It is a privilege and great responsibility to partner with you in teaching them the good, the true and the beautiful. I am looking forward to a great year of learning together!

Meet Your TA: Mrs. Emerson

Mrs. Emerson will be with us every Monday.
