Morris Sun-Tribune — Shop class has changed over the years. The course that once stressed primarily building things now also includes other subjects like drafting, small engines, wiring, plumbing and even some engineering. The name has even changed to Industrial Arts to cover all these courses.
Hancock’s new industrial arts teacher is quite familiar with these subjects and pleased to be able to share his knowledge with the students. Scott Thompson ’11 from Benson will be the full-time Industrial Arts teacher with classes in woods, drafting and engineering, small engines and a trades class where students will learn building, wiring and plumbing.

Thompson graduated from Benson High School in 2005, then attended Ridgewater Community College and St. Cloud State University, graduating in 2010. He taught one year at St. Cloud Tech and then started his construction business. He has also been doing some long-term subbing in the Benson and Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg school districts. He and his wife, Kim, have a daughter, Hallie.
