Ashley Prince

Hi, I’m Ashley, a homeschooling mom of three. This is our sixth year, and it’s been such a rewarding journey. My husband, George, served in the Army, and while we’ve lived all over, homeschooling has given our family the consistency we’ve loved most. I co-own Wild Roots Photography with my best friend, manage a 4-H group, and love volunteering alongside my kids. I’m passionate about encouraging other homeschool families and honored to be part of this year’s graduation committee.

Anelle Richardson

I’m Anelle—wife to my best friend, Trevor, and mom to 8 kids ages 27-13.  We’ve been homeschooling for 24 years, and it’s been an incredible journey watching each of our kids grow into who they’re meant to be.

I’m passionate about Jesus, my family, homeschooling, and supporting parents in choosing the path that best suits their children.

When we’re not doing school, I’m usually out on the homestead, supporting our kids in all their extracurriculars, being involved in 4H, or participating in some community activities.

I’m so excited to be part of the Southern Brazoria County HS Baccalaureate Graduation Committee again and can’t wait to celebrate the class of 2026!

Jenay Stanger

Hi, I’m Jenay! I’ve been homeschooling for over 11 years and have three kids. This year is extra special for our family, as our oldest son will be graduating — it’s such a bittersweet milestone! My husband, Caleb, and I love travelling with our kids and making the most of every adventure we can squeeze in together. I also do photography on the side, which keeps life extra creative and fun. I’m so glad to be part of this committee and excited to help create a meaningful and memorable graduation for our seniors!

Melissa Torres

I am Melissa Torres. I spent seventeen years in public education as a secondary orchestra director and a dozen as a homeschool mom. I am a proud parent of two homeschool grads, Melody, class of 2022, and Dustin, class of 2025, who both also graduated from Brazosport College and are currently working on higher degrees.

When I’m not teaching music at Masters Academy of Fine Arts, directing handbells at Covenant EPC, volunteering with 4H, or cooking at HEB, I am usually curled up with my iPad and a cat on my lap or busy crafting something.

My homeschooling journey has been amazing and I am so greatful for the villagers that helped and inspired my family on our paths and am proud to have been a piece of the puzzle for those of you who have trusted me with your children too.
