Metro Tech Board of Education Appoints New Member for District 4

The Metro Tech Board of Education has appointed Charlie Ludden to fill the position of District Seat No. 4. In November, the Board announced the vacancy and accepted applications from qualified candidates. Following a thorough review process, Ludden was officially sworn in during the Board’s regular monthly meeting on December 9, 2025.

“Mr. Ludden’s commitment to civic engagement and his passion for expanding opportunities for the community aligns strongly with our mission," said Metro Tech Superintendent & CEO, Aaron Collins. “We're grateful to have his voice and leadership as we continue moving Metro Tech forward.”

Ludden is a graduate of Northeast Academy of Health Sciences and Engineering and Oklahoma City University, where he was honored as a Clara Luper Scholar. Deeply committed to civic engagement, Charlie is actively involved in organizations that advance arts, culture, and community development. He currently serves as Vice-Chair of deadCenter Film and as Governance Chair for The Vanguart.

“Metro Tech creates pathways for students to pursue higher education in ways that align with their individual goals and needs,” Ludden said. “Continuing education isn't limited to a four-year university; Metro Tech expands opportunity and access for learners across our communities. I'm proud to help continue this mission and support work that opens doors for high school and adult learners.”
