Ashton Humphrey is a 4th year teacher at Croatan High School on the bank of the North Carolina ocean. (But seriously, his office overlooks the intracoastal waterway.) 

I met Ashton at a Carol Krueger conference two summers ago where we sat next to each other. Over the course of that 3 day experience we connected through social media and various statewide choral events. 

I interviewed Ashton because as a new teacher, he has really adopted Carol's literacy strategies into his program with much success. And while I expected us to talk a lot about how Carol's conference changed our teaching mindset (which we do), I was also moved by Ashton's story of how he first really connected with choir and how he strategizes his lessons/ rehearsals to keep students engaged and having fun. 

In addition to teaching choir, Ashton also is the theater/ drama teacher at his school. Stay tuned to the end for a series of questions that basically revolve around our favorite foods and a fun insight into the where and when on Ashton's upcoming nuptials!
