For the 16th year, Ashley Hall has joyfully supported a campus-wide holiday gift-giving project for Chicora Elementary School located in North Charleston, where 95% of the student body is at, or below, poverty level. Nearly every Ashley Hall girl got into the spirit this year by bringing toys or clothes for these children. It took 26 cars and three small buses to transport the goodies to Chicora Elementary. Through the gracious support of the Ashley Hall community, nearly 500 children were given the gift of Christmas!

The Fine Arts Department presents the Intermediate Program Winter Arts Showcase on Thursday, December 10 at 7:00pm in Davies Auditorium. The program will feature a variety of string, vocal, and dance performances by 5th and 6th grade students.

“I would like to thank the Loyalty Fund for allowing me to teach the joy of learning. Through the Loyalty Fund, I can teach innovative, hands-on, exploratory lessons which capture the students’ interest. I love seeing students challenged and the enthusiasm they experience when they solve a problem! Programming comes alive with the Arduino microcontrollers! Robotics allows the girls to think critically to solve problems! Because of the Loyalty Fund, our students are exposed to these unique subjects which they may choose to pursue as a career. The love of learning can incite interest in a future career. – Ashley Cook, Ashley Hall Faculty Member 

In true Ashley Hall form, Panther Athletics experienced an extraordinary fall in several areas of sport.

2016 Cross Country State Champions | 2016 Varsity Tennis State Champions | 2016 Varsity Volleyball State Runner Up | 2016 Varsity Golf State Runner Up | 2016 Varsity Swimming (3rd in State)

Both varsity volleyball and tennis teams will participate in state playoffs. Let’s go Panthers!
