RIVERTON, Utah (ABC4) – It's almost never good when an administrator shows up at a high school class and asks the teacher to follow them. However, for one Riverton High School teacher, it ended up being better than he could have imagined. Auto Tech teacher Jay Hales had no idea why he was being escorted from his class right as school began this morning. His students and fellow faculty had teamed up to give him the surprise of his life. As he rounded the corner to the front of the school drums began playing, cheerleaders began cheering, and Hales caught site of a check for $50,000 with his name on it.
