Ashley Nauta, Assistant Principal
As Assistant Principal of Bee Cave Elementary, I bring over a decade of dedicated service in education, marked by a commitment to student success and instructional excellence. Currently entering my sixth year as an Assistant Principal at Bee Cave Elementary, I have had the privilege of contributing to our school community's growth and development.
My journey in education began as a classroom teacher, where I taught both first and third grades. This hands-on experience provided me with invaluable insights into the foundational years of a child's education. As a Math Specialist and Instructional Coach, I honed my skills in curriculum development and pedagogical strategies, ensuring that every student received a high-quality education tailored to their needs.
Equipped with a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Texas State University, I transitioned into administration with dedication to fostering a supportive and enriching learning environment. I strive to collaborate closely with our teachers, leveraging my expertise to enhance instructional practices and curriculum alignment.
In addition, I am also a mother to my daughter, Lucy, who is approaching her second birthday this year. I am honored to serve as an Assistant Principal at Bee Cave Elementary, where I am dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of our students and community.
