Plains ISD would like to welcome Ashley Cunningham to our secondary and coaching staff. She has been hired to be our 7th/8th Grade Science teacher and Coach JH girls athletics. Welcome to Plains! #plainsproud Bio “I grew up in west Texas, in the big ol’ town of Littlefield. After graduation I continued my education and athletic career at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa where I played basketball and softball, while studying kinesiology and mathematics. I have been all over Texas coaching multiple sports (including volleyball, basketball, softball, and track) and decided it was time to head back toward home. I have had the opportunity to teach middle school science, math, and social studies, as well as Algebra 1, Geometry, Pre-Cal and Calculus. I will be moving to Plains from Brady ISD in the “Heart of Texas”, where I taught 7th grade science and coached volleyball, basketball, and softball. I look forward to moving back to west Texas and joining the Plains ISD family.”
