Scott Larson at North Baldwin School for Technology was one of just five grand-prize winners from across the country, receiving a grant from the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools foundation.

A prize so big is a hard secret to keep but that’s just what school administrators did since they found out their colleague had been selected to receive the prize. Construction teacher, Scott Larson thought he was bringing his class to record a video on moving to their new school but with all the media attention, something began to seem a bit fishy as he was ushered center stage.

“If we need tools, we can purchase them, you know. If we need materials, we don’t have to scrounge around for money, you know,” Larson said with a smile. “I’m always writing grants to bring in extra money.” “A rigging trainer which is where…you know, a lot of times we have to lift heavy stuff up. The welding program, the HVAC program, carpentry, you know. So, it’d be a trainer to teach kids how to use shackles and ropes and slings to lift heavy equipment,” Larson explained.
