Everett Gail Doerge (May 6, 1935 – April 17, 1998) was an American state legislator who served as a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 10 (Webster Parish) from January 1992 until his death in office.
Everett Doerge (pronounced DURR-ghee) was born in Port Arthur, a city on the bank of Sabine Lake in far southeastern Texas. In 1943, his parents, George G. Doerge (1901–1976) and Jewel M. Doerge (1907–1993) moved the family to the small northwestern Louisiana city of Minden. In 1954, Doerge graduated from Minden High School, where he had run track and played on the all-state football team in 1953. He initially entered Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi, on a football scholarship but then transferred to Northwestern State College (Northwestern State University after June 1970) in , where he met and, in August 1957, married Jean McGlothlin. They both obtained their degrees in 1958, the year he was commissioned an officer in the United States Army, serving six months of active duty and remaining in the U.S. Army Reserve until 1964. He continued his education at NSC where, following his Bachelor of Science in 1958, he received a Master of Science in 1964 and, after a decade as a high school teacher, attended studies for an Ed.D. at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, which he obtained in 1973.
