An educator for 27 years, Charlie Etheridge began his teaching career with Irving ISD and has served as an assistant principal, principal and coordinator at Waxahachie ISD, Burleson ISD, and now White Settlement ISD. He has served as the leader for discipline programs and alternative education schools for the last seven years.

“I enjoy working with our non-traditional students who often experience struggles in their academic and personal lives. Working with these students allows an educator to really witness and appreciate the impact and the positive differences that we are all capable of making in our students’ lives. While the road can be difficult much of the time, watching these kids become successful (not only in academics, but also life) is something every educator should strive to be a part of during their careers.”

Etheridge also serves education at the state level through his affiliation with the Texas Association For Alternative Education. He served as vice-president of TAAE from 2021-2023 and is currently the President-Elect. In his free time, he enjoys traveling and hiking, alternating between the canyons of the southwestern U.S. and mountain ranges from Mexico to Canada.
