BES is pleased to announce that our 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year is ESOL Teacher Ashley Nowell!

   Mrs. Ashley Nowell is a dedicated K–5 ESOL teacher in her tenth year of teaching. She is passionate about supporting multilingual learners and helping every student grow in both language and confidence. Mrs. Nowell loves building strong relationships with her students and families, and she considers her colleagues and school community part of her extended family. 

      Outside of the classroom, Mrs. Nowell enjoys spending time with her husband and their toddler son, who keeps them very, very busy. She is grateful for the love and encouragement of her family, which fuel her passion for teaching. Being selected as Teacher of the Year is an honor that reflects not only her commitment to her students, but also the support of the people around her who inspire her to keep growing and giving her best each day.
