My name is Ashleigh McCarthy and this is my 13th year of teaching (as of the 2022-23 school year). Prior to Shields, I taught 1st grade in Pennsylvania for 11 years. I graduated with a degree in Elementary/Special Education from Temple University. I also earned my Masters in Education from Cabrini College.
When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family on the water and at the beach. I also enjoy reading and cooking.
