About+Me

Hello! My name is Ashley Houghton and I am the school counselor at Southwood Elementary. I am very excited to be a part of Yellow Jacket family for the third year! Sometimes you may hear people still call me by my maiden name, Ipock.

﻿ I am a Kinston native and a product of Lenoir County Public Schools. After graduating from North Lenoir High School in 2003, I went to East Carolina University and earned my Bachelor's degree in Family and Community Services with a minor in Elementary Education. After graduating in 2007, I continued my education at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte where I earned my Master's degree in School Counseling in 2009. Although I live in Greenville with my husband Brett, I am very honored to also call Southwood home and to be working in the community I grew up in.
