Trent Bender, Assistant Principal

As an educator, the most important thing we can do is to care for our students and each other. At Ashland Ranch our learners give 100% effort to be their best; Every child, Every day! Our classrooms are connected and encourage success from every student and staff member. Our programs, clubs, and organizations also do an amazing job showing how much they care every single day.

My favorite part about our school is the community celebrations such as Walk to School, Donuts for Grown-up, Spring Carnival, Rocco Shop/Weekly Winners, and Recognition Assemblies. This showcases a love of learning exhibited throughout our school community, which I really enjoy.

I love to spend time with family swimming, hiking various trails and paths, catching a baseball game, and loudly singing every line of our favorite Disney songs. You will often find me coaching various youth sports, visiting local parks to find the next best playgrounds, and sometimes playing in the symphony orchestra with my lovely wife!
