Congratulations to Bingham High School’s Travis Lucero, who has been selected as one of 50 finalists nationwide for the 2026 Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence. The award is in its 10th year and was established by Harbor Freight Tools owner and founder Eric Smidt to advance excellent, skilled trades education in U.S. public high schools.
Mr. Lucero was nominated for the amazing work he has done teaching welding and collision repair to Bingham students for more than 20 years. He is now in the running for one of 25 prizes totaling $2 million, which Harbor Freight will award in Fall 2026.
