Today, Mr. Kevin Hundgate representing Harbor Freight Tools was on hand for a special school wide assembly to announce that Mr. Dunham was selected as a recipient of one of the 15 second place prizes. Along with his second place finish, Mr. Dunham was awarded a $50,000 check, of that $50,000 Mr. Dunham is awarded $15,000 personally and $35,000 will be given to Wapello High School for use in the Industrial Arts Program to fill the wishes of Mr. Dunham! Mr. Dunham was also awarded a Harbor Freight Tool Chest as his trophy for his second place finish. Wapello Community School would like to thank Harbor Freight Tools for sponsoring their Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence contest and would like to extend word of Congratulations to Mr. Dunham for entering the contest and being selected as a 2nd place finisher in the contest!
