A tribute to a truly impactful person: Dave Chellevold
When I interview people who are new to a certain position or opening a new business, I always ask them who inspired you to do this. Who had the biggest influence on your life? I didn’t have to look far when wanting to write about 50-year educator at Darlington High School, Dave Chellevold and asked about the impact he had on people’s lives.
“Dave is the reason I am in administration today.”
“His advice and conversations immediately inspired me.”
“I am thankful that Dave believed in me.”
Benton School District’s Superintendent Todd Bastian, Darlington Science teacher Brent Whalen and former Darlington High School principal Dan Myers are just a few who shared their memories and stories of Chellevold and what his kindness, wisdom, and character meant to them.
