Battle Ground High School Head Custodian Brad Tuchardt and Security Supervisor Mike Kesler received the Chee Chee & Curt Bruskland Service Award from the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association in early May. The award is given to individuals who exemplify service, caring and kindness. Tuchardt and Kesler received the award after donating their time to support the state cheerleading championship at Battle Ground High School in February.
WIAA Executive Director Mick Hoffman thanked the district at a recent school board meeting for continuing to host the state cheerleading competition. The event draws 8,000 attendees annually and brings an estimated $750,000 in tourism money for the local economy. "We appreciate schools being community assets and how you're using them here in Battle Ground," said Hoffman.
