Lafayette County's Oxford School District Spotlights Couples in Charger Love Stories

The Oxford School District is highlighting staff couples during Valentine’s Day week with a social media series called Charger Love Stories, putting a human face on the district’s staff and encouraging community connections across schools. One couple featured is Issac and Ashley Boose, both district employees who work in classrooms and athletics.

Issac Boose is a physical education teacher at Dorsey Dallas Elementary School and holds multiple roles at Oxford High School: he is the head coach for the powerlifting team and the defensive coordinator for the football team, according to district officials. His wife, Ashley Boose, teaches fourth grade at Central Elementary School. A district Instagram caption announcing the series read: "Charger Love Stories We're kicking off Valentine's Day week by highlighting couples from across Oxford School District!⚡️"

The district’s posts encourage followers to "stay tuned for more Charger Love Stories throughout the week" as officials celebrate relationships within the school community. By showcasing couples who work in classrooms and athletics, the series highlights the overlapping roles many staff members play in students’ lives - from daily instruction in elementary classrooms to coaching at the high school level.

For Lafayette County residents, the series offers a familiar glimpse behind the scenes at local schools. Parents and students who see teachers like Ashley in classrooms and coaches like Issac on the field may gain a clearer sense of continuity across grade levels and programs. Celebrating staff relationships can also reinforce community identity around the Chargers name and build goodwill that supports events, volunteerism, and school spirit.

The Valentine-themed features arrive alongside other local Valentine events aimed at different community groups. Oxford Parks and Recreation will host its annual Valentine Senior Adult Day on Feb. 9, offering free entertainment, lunch and activities for local seniors, according to a recent city news release. Together, these events show how schools and city programs are using seasonal themes to engage distinct segments of the community.

What comes next for readers: expect additional Charger Love Stories posts through Valentine’s Day week and more profiles of district staff who serve students in multiple capacities. Parents and residents who want to follow the series should look for district social media updates and watch for school announcements about classroom and athletic activities that connect students to staff like Issac and Ashley Boose.
