Mr. Brockhaus received the 2017-2018 "Impact Award"
from The Builders of the Future Nonprofit Foundation. 
 

The Builders of the Future Committee Members created the “Impact Award” to recognize and honor one Industrial Technology educator each year whom the committee felt made the largest impact on the students. The 2017-2018 “Impact Award” was presented at the annual “kick-off” breakfast to John Brockhaus. John Brockhaus is a teacher at D.C. West High School in Valley, NE. Over the years John has taught at D.C. West High School he has contributed roughly half a million dollars in improvements to the community, high school facility, and school grounds. During his years of teaching John Brockhaus and his students have built a home in Valley and also a 3-bedroom, 2 bath cabin; built in 2 phases on school property and later relocated to private land. John has built storage lofts in the garages at the school, replaced and installed new concrete sidewalks / curbs, and when he couldn’t find anything else to do he re-painted the gym. Which only takes about 324 gallons of paint. No project appears too big or daunting for John to tackle. His attitude and hard work ethic make him an exemplary role model for the students in his Industrial Technology classes. The Builders of the Future Committee gives thanks and recognizes John Brockhaus for his dedication and support to our program.
