Charles Fish

Charles Everett Fish (May 26, 1854 – October 23, 1916) was an American educator and the sixth principal of Phillips Exeter Academy.

He attended school at Exeter's rival Phillips Academy Andover, then entered Harvard College, as a member of the class of 1878.

However, in order to raise money for his sister's education, he left after his freshman year to become the principal of Edward Little High School, in Auburn, Maine, returning to Harvard in 1879 to graduate in 1880.

He resigned after five years in 1895 with a gift of $4000 from the board of trustees, moving to Waban, Newton, Massachusetts, to open Waban School, before closing it down in four years to become the principal of Rhineland School for Girls in Poughkeepsie, New York.

He was awarded an honorary Master of Arts degree by Dartmouth College in 1891.
