Welcome to Second Grade!

Ashlyn Gearhart

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to be back in my home district, and overjoyed to be a tiger! I was born and raised in Russellville. I graduated from RHS, and then went on to study Early Childhood Education at Arkansas Tech University. I earned my Masters Degree in Instructional Technology- Library Media Specialist. I have taught first, third, fifth through seventh, as well as Library and Reading Interventions. My goal for my students is that they will shine and grow in everything they do! I have been married to my husband, Joe, since 2012. We have two boys together- Elijah and Emmett. In my free time, I enjoy being outside, hiking, paddle boarding, running, and spending time with friends and family. I can’t wait to learn together!

I love teaching second grade! I graduated from Arkansas Tech University and have been teaching since 2014. I have been blessed to be at part of the London Elementary family for each of those years. I have a wonderful husband named Ben, and two beautiful children, Matthias and Shelby Ruth. I enjoy singing, playing guitar, cooking, reading, and hiking (and even fishing with my husband every now and then).
