Dale Gier was elected into the NWAACC Roll of Honor in 1991 after an illustrious career at CBC. When Gier came to CBC in 1963, he was hired as an assistant coach for football, basketball and baseball. He was promoted to head coach in 1965. During the six years he coached athletics, CBC accounted for 12 league championships.
In 1969, Gier took a two-year leave of absence to earn his Doctorate of Education from Washington State University. Upon his return to CBC, he was placed in charge of a new state mandate to extend adult education programs. He did this by establishing Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language, General Education Development, and social and human services programs. Gier also wrote curriculum for many courses and taught an array of subjects as an instructor.
As Dean for Community and Continuing Education for 18 years, Gier worked with the community to meet emerging needs, establish new programs, coached AAU as well as Junior Olympics, and volunteered throughout the Tri-Cities.
