Walla Walla Public Schools is proud to announce that SEATech Construction Technology Instructor Eric Matson has been selected as one of just 50 finalists nationwide for the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence, a prestigious national award recognizing outstanding skilled trades educators in U.S. public high schools.
Matson is now in contention for one of 25 national prizes totaling $2 million that will be awarded this fall. The recognition highlights his commitment to providing students with high-quality, hands-on learning experiences that prepare them for successful careers in the skilled trades.
The Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence is the flagship program of The Smidt Foundation, established by Harbor Freight Tools founder Eric Smidt. Now in its tenth year, the program has awarded more than $10 million to 183 skilled trades teachers and their programs across the nation.
"We are incredibly proud of Eric Matson and the impact he has on students every day," said Career and Technical Education and SEATech Director Jerry Maher. "This recognition reflects his passion, innovation, and dedication to helping students develop valuable career and technical skills that will serve them well beyond graduation."
Matson's program provides students with opportunities to gain real-world construction experience, develop technical expertise, and explore rewarding career pathways in the skilled trades. His selection as a national finalist also shines a spotlight on the strength of Walla Walla Public Schools' Career and Technical Education programs at SEATech and the importance of preparing students for workforce success.
Recent national research conducted in partnership with NORC at the University of Chicago found that 90 percent of voters believe school districts should prioritize funding for skilled trades education, underscoring growing support for programs like those offered in Walla Walla Public Schools.
Final award recipients will be announced in Fall 2026.
