CRAFTSBURY – Amber Everett will be the new athletic director and activities coordinator at Craftsbury Academy (CA), replacing Steve Welch after less than 18 months on the job.
Everett, a former Peoples Academy (PA) multi-sport athlete, graduated from VTSU-Lyndon in 2024 with a Bachelor’s degree in business with a concentration in sports management and a minor in marketing. She competed at the varsity level in soccer, basketball and softball for PA before continuing her softball career at both SUNY Adirondack and VTSU-Lyndon.
As small schools all around the state have clawed and scratched to keep their athletic departments from merging with larger schools or shuttered altogether, the Charger athletic program remains alive with varsity sports in cross-country, track and field, softball, bowling and an elite Nordic and cross-country ski programs. CA student athletes who want to participate in varsity basketball, soccer and baseball travel to Hazen Union to compete under the Wildcat banner.
Everett becomes the seventh A.D. in as many years at Craftsbury Academy. Former Charger A.D. Gabriella Silva now leads the PA athletic programs and Connor Bean is at Missisquoi Valley Union after a year at Bellows Falls.
