All this experience led Mr. Gall right back to where he started welding – in high school. Born and raised in Momence, Mr. Gall is actually a KACC Welding Technology alumn from 1993. Mr. Gall takes over the program from his former teacher, Michael Spangler.
Mr. Gall even took time personally to come to KACC, spending time with Mr. Spangler and students during his last few months of teaching. This way, Mr. Gall could glean – once more – from Mr. Spangler’s teaching.
From Student – To Teacher! KACC is delighted to welcome Michael Gall back to KACC as our Welding Technology Instructor.
