Boleach is also McCluer South-Berkeley’s A+ Coordinator.

The Construction Forum STL Building Tomorrow Award recognizes outstanding contributions in four of the major areas of Construction Forum STL. Boleach received the award in the category of Workforce Development for his efforts of promoting trades at the high school level. He was praised for helping students understand the availability of careers in advanced manufacturing, health care logistics and many other industries. His efforts in workforce development have lead to programs with the Pattonville and Normandy School Districts.

The PLTW Administrator award is given to honor those who work to educate students who are interested in engineering, biomechanics, aeronautics, biomedical sciences and other applied math and science arenas. The award recognizes Boleach’s ability to provide real-world learning and hands-on experience in this area.
