Every year a class graduates and becomes Ashford High Alumni. These alumni go off into the world as adults and learn to navigate on their own. They find careers, and make a living of their own, often adding to their families as well.
Today, we are touching base with one of the many of Ashford High’s graduates, Wendy Jones. Mrs. Jones graduated from AHS in 1987. Her favorite teacher while she was in high school was Coach Williams, who at the time was one of the high school’s math teachers. She played volleyball in high school, which taught her the value of teamwork that she later applied to her degree in Chemical Engineering and while working together with others. After graduating from Ashford, she studied for two years at Wallace Community College, and another 2 years at the University of Alabama. During college, Mrs. Jones studied Chemical Engineering. Mrs. Jones now owns W. Jones Photography here in Ashford, and is the photographer for our school. She is married to Stephen Jones, and they have 4 children–all of which were Ashford High School graduates as well! Advice that Wendy would give to high school students now is to enjoy their high school years and understand how important it is to study and make good grades for the next chapter in their lives ahead.
