Dear Grizz Team,
I am proud to announce Charlie Hall as the new Athletic and Activities Director.
Charlie brings a deep commitment to education-based athletics and a wealth of experience developed over more than 20 years in teaching, coaching, and program leadership. He spent 15 years as a teacher and multi-sport coach at Ashland High School and has earned a strong reputation throughout the Rogue Valley as a respected head football coach focused on accountability, culture, and student development.
Charlie’s leadership experience spans multiple levels, including 12 years at Ashland High School, six years at Southern Oregon University, and the past three years at Phoenix High School, where he built competitive, student-centered programs grounded in growth, connection, and care. Prior to serving as a head coach, he also spent several years as a collegiate assistant football coach.
Returning to Ashland, Charlie brings strong ties to the school and community, along with a proven track record as a collaborative leader and program builder. His established relationships at Ashland High School and across the Rogue Valley position him to make an immediate and positive impact in this role.
“I am honored to step into this position and serve a community that has meant so much to me,” Hall said. “My focus is on creating opportunities for students to connect, feel supported, and compete at their highest level.”
Under Charlie’s leadership, Ashland High School athletics and activities will continue to build on the proud tradition of Grizzly athletics, emphasizing a culture of connection, care, and competitive excellence, while strengthening alignment, expanding opportunities, and supporting the whole student.
Please join us in welcoming Charlie Hall back to Ashland High School in this important leadership role.
Dr. Francisco L. Atanes
