 FEATURING ASHLEY WHITTY '02 AND CAITLIN WHITTY '08

Ashley and Caitlin Whitty are proud Oregonians who
grew up in southwest Portland. From their hearts for
service to their love of learning, Ashley and Caitlin credit
St. Mary’s Academy with molding them into the women
leaders and educators they are today.

Ashley, an English teacher, enthusiastically describes
teaching at SMA as her dream come true. After
graduating in 2002, Ashley earned a Bachelor’s in

                            58
English from the University of Oregon, followed by a
Master’s in Teaching from Lewis & Clark College and
a Master’s in English from Portland State University.
She taught at St. Andrew Nativity School for seven
years before returning home to the place she credits
with gifting her the confidence and passion to teach
successfully. This school year is Ashley’s seventh at
her alma mater. Her work combines her two greatest
passions: literature and working with young people. She
leads with love in the classroom, a virtue she felt every
day as a student at SMA.

Caitlin, Director of Service, teaches SMA students how
to live the values of the Sisters of the Holy Names of
Jesus and Mary. Following her 2008 graduation, Caitlin
earned her Bachelor’s in History from the Clark Honors
College at the University of Oregon. True to her current
position, Caitlin then joined Teach for America (TFA)
and served for two years in Tulsa, Oklahoma as an
elementary school teacher in a Title I school. Caitlin’s
work with TFA reaffirmed the passion for service instilled
in her at St. Mary's Academy. In her current role, Caitlin
creates individual service opportunities and coordinates
several all-school service events, including the cherished
Christmas Basket Program and the beloved student-
led UNITE day. Caitlin’s work connects her with every
student at SMA, affording her the opportunity to
cultivate a love of service in the entire student body.

As mothers of girls, Ashley and Caitlin know firsthand
the challenges facing young women in today’s world.
They dedicate their careers to St. Mary’s because they
know they would not be the independent, confident,
and heart-forward women they are without their SMA
education. For the Whitty sisters, working at SMA gives
them the chance to give back to their school and make a
meaningful investment in young women. Together, they
also own Wild Thyme Flowers, a floral design company.
