Dale has directed science fairs, literary fairs, and world culture days, and was instrumental in organizing the Western Kentucky Academic Association. He has served as debate coach, advisor to the school newspaper that won a second place national award, and coached the school’s academic team to a runner-up position in state television competition. He recently established a $15,000 trust fund to award scholarships to graduating seniors who plan to become teachers. As Poet Laureate of the State of Kentucky, he uses his original poetry as a teaching aid.
