For Ashlyn, Pocahontas isn’t just where she works—it’s where her story began. ❤️
As a proud Pocahontas High School graduate, returning to teach feels like coming full circle. From her days as a student involved in sports and clubs to now leading her own classroom, she’s experienced firsthand what makes this district so special.
Now, alongside her husband, Tyler Lingo—who also teaches and coaches here—Pocahontas truly feels like home both inside and outside the classroom.
That’s what sets Pocahontas School District apart.
Our staff pour into students, create meaningful connections, and prepare them with real-life skills that go far beyond the classroom.
📝 School Choice Deadline: June 1
Choose opportunity. Choose Pocahontas. Choose to be a Redskin.
