Winfield-Mt. Union High School Principal Dave Edwards has been named 2022 Outstanding Administrator by the Iowa Bandmasters Association (IBA). Edwards, who has served as principal in the district since 2007, is one of three faculty members across the state to be recognized. One administrator is selected at each of the middle school, high school and superintendent levels. Winfield-Mt. Union Band Director Lindsey Pogmore nominated Edwards, stating, “I have seen firsthand how he takes pride in programs by supporting them. Pride may look like attending performances, helping tear down equipment after concerts, or in offering the same type of enthusiastic send-offs for music events that the sports events receive when they have made a milestone accomplishment. He genuinely cares about WMU students and their musical experiences.”.
Edwards will be part of an awards presentation Friday, May 13th at the Des Moines Marriott Downtown.
