My name is Ashlee Bunch, and this will be my 15th year teaching. My husband Derrick and I have 3 gorgeous children; Stella, Douglas, and Isla.  We have a sprightly, black chihuahua, Delta, and a lazy, white cat, Balcony. 

I attended Madison Central High school class of 2004. I graduated from Mississippi College with a degree in Secondary Social Studies Education in 2008.  I am qualified to teach 7-12 Social Studies, Middle School Science, K-12 Mild/Moderate Special Education, and 7-12 Business Education.   

I love to spend time with my family, read, paint, watch movies, and travel. I also love coffee, El Ranchito,  and sushi.
