Christopher Taylor Grinstead IV
Former Fairview and Page High School coach Christopher Taylor Grinstead IV was charged with a slew of crimes after allegedly having sexual contact with a teen student he was coaching.
According to Grinstead’s Williamson County Schools personnel file, he was hired in 2024 as a cross-country and track-and-field coach at Page High School before resigning in January 2025.
In September 2025, he began working as a supplemental-only track coach at Fairview High, a position that he held until he was suspended in April 2026 following the beginning of the law enforcement investigation.
He was terminated the same month when he was arrested and charged with statutory rape by an authority figure, sexual contact with a minor by an authority figure and sexual battery by an authority figure.
He is also facing charges of aggravated stalking, violating an order of protection and bail conditions, theft of property ($1,000-$2,500), vandalism ($1,000-$2,500) and failure to appear in cases that have been bound over to a grand jury.
According to an affidavit, Grinstead, 26, “used that position of trust and authority” when he allegedly assaulted the minor girl “while the two were inside his vehicle in the parking lot of multiple businesses in Fairview and Franklin.”
According to Cory Mason, WCS executive director of communications, Grinstead did not have any disciplinary records prior to his suspension, and he did not teach any classes at WCS.
He remains jailed on a $4,970,000 bond.
