Chad Everett (he/him)

“There are two things at the center of my practice with students and their families: a commitment to justice and the memory of what it feels like to be the student in the corner, unable to fully express himself because he was too worried about where to place the comma.”

Biography

Chad was born in Memphis, Tennessee, moved to Mississippi at age five, and has lived in The Magnolia State ever since. He likes to spend as much time as possible on a lake with a fishing pole in his hand or speeding around a golf course. He is a nonfiction fan and true crime junkie.

He received his Bachelor’s in Paralegal Studies from the University of Memphis with intentions of attending law school; however, he spent a year supporting teachers with technology integration and was forever changed. He went back to school to obtain his teaching certification and taught middle school English. The perpetual student, he later returned to school one more time and received his Master’s in Educational Leadership and Supervision from the University of Southern Mississippi.

Chad currently serves as an assistant principal at Horn Lake Middle School. He lives with his wife and Labradoodle, Louie. When he isn’t roaming the halls, he can be found roaming the sidelines coaching basketball or writing about teaching and life at imaginelit.com.
