Board approves hire of career and technical education teacher Eric Smith

Whitehall School District · August 19, 2026

Summary

The board approved Eric Smith, a community candidate with military and cabinet-shop experience, for a new 6–12 career and technical education position that will include woodworking, business and middle-school tech classes.

The Whitehall School District board voted to approve Eric Smith as the district’s career and technical education teacher for grades 6–12. Presenter (Jason, S4) described Smith as a community member with 12 years of military service and prior experience running a cabinet shop; S4 said the position’s schedule is weighted toward industrial-technology and woodworking and will also include business and marketing classes.

A motion to approve the hire was made and seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote. Presenter (S4) said Smith’s experience — teaching in the military and managing a 30-person shop — will allow the district to expand traditional trade-area instruction in the school’s shop program.
