Welcome, Ashley Smith White
Director of Recruitment and Enrollment
We are excited to announce Ashley Smith White as the Director of Recruitment and Enrollment for the Diocese of Fort Worth. A lifelong member of the diocesan community, Ashley has been connected to the Diocese of Fort Worth since 1989—as a student, an employee, and a parent. She graduated from St. John the Apostle Catholic School in 1999 and Nolan Catholic High School in 2003.
Since first joining the diocesan team in 2005, Ashley has contributed in various capacities, demonstrating a deep commitment to Catholic education and its mission of forming students in faith, excellence, and service. She is married to Chris White (SJS ’96, NCHS ’00), and together they have three “Future Vikings” attending St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School.
Ashley brings a unique and personal perspective to her work. She will be leading recruitment and enrollment efforts for Nolan Catholic as part of a comprehensive approach to build enrollment across our Diocesan schools. Her long-standing dedication to the Diocese of Fort Worth reflects her belief in the lasting impact of Catholic education and her passion for ensuring every family feels welcomed, supported, and inspired to join the Nolan Catholic community.
