Ashley Hall Alumnae

As part of Senior Experience Week, our alumnae extended a warm welcome to the Class of 2026 and hosted them for a beautiful on-campus lunch yesterday. Cason Jenkins ‘15 also joined the class to speak on the transition from student to alumna and the many ways to stay connected to Ashley Hall after graduation.

Only a few days left until the Class of 2026 officially becomes part of the distinguished legacy of Ashley Hall Alumnae. 💜

Reflecting on an unforgettable Alumnae Weekend 2026! ✨ It was a beautiful weekend filled with celebration, connection, and new memories. Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so special. We loved welcoming you home!
