I look forward to the continued growth of the programs under his leadership."

In addition, Charbonneau is stewarding a program that is commitment to giving back to the local community through baseball and growing the connection of the Parkside Baseball alumni of the past to the program of today.

"Parkside has truly become home for me and my family, and I couldn't ask for a better fit," said Charbonneau. "I am incredibly grateful for the chance to continue leading this program and to represent Ranger Baseball. Thank you to our Athletic Director Adam Schemm and Chancellor Akey for the continued support. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our players and the tireless work of our coaching staff, especially Aaron Cusimano and C.J. Thieleke, who have been instrumental in our progress. Together, we've built something special, and I'm excited to keep pushing forward as we keep chasing our goals and continue the bond between our program, alumni, and Southeast Wisconsin/Northern Illinois community."
