The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors visited Atlantic High School to welcome new Principal Dr. Jim Brauer and hear more about his vision for the school and the community.

Dr.Brauer and his family have lived in Atlantic since 2012. His wife, Mandi, is a middle school special education teacher, and their two sons attend Atlantic Community Schools. After years of working in education, Dr.Brauer said the opportunity to become principal was one he had hoped for, even though he never expected it to come along when it did.

As he steps into the role, Dr.Brauer wants to build on the history and traditions already in place at Atlantic High School while continuing to move the school forward. A big part of that is changing the story people hear about the school.
Dr.Brauer said every decision and interaction creates an experience, and those experiences become the stories students and families share with others. Over time, those stories shape the culture and reputation of a school.

“I want to bring the true, proud story of Atlantic High School to the outside,” Dr.Brauer said.

He has already started building connections throughout the community by reaching out to local organizations, elected officials, first responders, and other community partners. He sees those relationships as an important part of strengthening the school and creating more opportunities for students.

The school is also putting more emphasis on sharing the good things happening inside its walls. Dr.Brauer and the activities department are working to increase social media and local media coverage, including student stories and highlights. The activities department is also starting a “Participant of the Week” feature to recognize students who make a difference, whether through athletics, activities, academics, or simply helping someone in their school or community.

Dr.Brauer shared a clear goal with the Ambassadors: he believes Atlantic High School can become the best high school in southwest Iowa. He emphasized that students can have fun, enjoy their high school experience, and still be held to a high standard.

The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors welcomed Josh Keul of Keul Electric LLC as the newest Chamber member during a visit on Thursday, August 20th. Based in Corning, Keul Electric specializes in commercial, industrial, and petroleum electrical projects throughout southwest Iowa.

Electrical work runs deep in the Keul family. Josh is the third generation to enter the trade, following his grandfather, Melvin, who established Keul Electric Services Inc. in Des Moines in 1959, and his father, Mike.

After working in the electrical and construction industries, Josh spent time in the corporate world helping electrical contractors build their businesses. He later became an Electrical Instructor at Southwestern Community College, where he saw students leaving the area because they couldn't find local jobs and larger electrical projects going to contractors from outside the region.

In 2017, Josh established Keul Electric with the goal of bringing more electrical work, jobs, and opportunities to southwest Iowa. The business quickly grew, eventually leading Josh to leave SWCC and focus on Keul Electric full-time.

Today, Josh and Mike work alongside a skilled team on projects throughout the region. Keul Electric is also growing with a new 10,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility under construction at 2264 Avenue of Industries in Corning. The facility will include additional storage, office space, and an industrial electrical supply depot.

Re-establishing the Keul Electric name was something Josh wanted to accomplish while his grandfather was still alive. Today, the family legacy continues while the company creates new opportunities in southwest Iowa.
