​Bristol Academy

Alison Meredith graduated from Virginia Tech with a BS in Mathematics.   She taught professionally for six years in the 1990s, at Dobyns-Bennett and at schools in North Carolina and Massachusetts.  She spearheaded a new teacher training program and mentored young teachers. 

She taught all Math subjects from Pre-Algebra through Calculus, but Geometry became her favorite.  In 1997, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics selected 10 teachers to receive their Future Leaders Award, Alison was among them.  

Alison and her husband Tim have been married over 25 years; they have home-educated their seven kids since the beginning.   They are both actively involved in leadership at  First Presbyterian Church, Bristol.  Alison is the committee chair of Boy Scout Troop 3.

​

Alison has created extensive resources regarding how to protect kids and teenagers in digital communications.

​

  Tim and Alison own Tech Eagles, a business which provides cybersecurity to other businesses throughout Southwest Virginia and the Tri-Cities. 

Alison directed Marketing and Sales for Tech Eagles from 2012--2021, during which time she and Tim employed tutors to help teach their kids when Alison was away from home.  The business grew extensively during this time. 

Alison became a best-selling author in 2019 with the release of You are the #1 Target, a book to help businesses protect their networks from cyber threats.  She is still a co-owner of Tech Eagles, but in 2022, she pulled back from working for the company in their daily operations. 

Since then, Alison has put more of her energy toward teaching her own kids, directing Bristol Academy, helping other home-educating parents, and directing the annual Pi Day Party.
