DENTON, Texas – As part of celebrating National Welding Month in April, ESAB awarded $5,000 to support the welding programs at Princeton High School and Lovelady High School, part of the Princeton Independent School District, through its ESAB Future Fabricators Charlie Monschke Welding Education Grant. ESAB, a world leader in fabrication technology, also surprised the school with an equipment donation of a combined retail value exceeding $6,000. The award and gifts were presented during a tour of ESAB’s Denton facility on May 11.
“We only have a limited number of working welding machines, so this grant will help us get more students under the hood instead of waiting for booth time,” said Pete Salazar, the welding instructor for Princeton ISD. “We work hard to prepare these kids for careers in the trades. The grant means a lot to our program. We truly appreciate ESAB’s support and everything they do for welding education.”
