A teacher for the past thirty- one years, Sampson has taught at Kennebec, Sturgis, West Bend, Iowa; Auckland, New Zealand; and at Hill City since 1978. He received a M.

Jeffrey Robbins, a SDSM& T freshman computer engineering major, nominated Sampson for his selfless acts as an educator. Bruce Jordan, principal of Hill City High School, wrote that " Sam challenges and teaches to the upper level of his students' abilities in a fun and interesting way. Students are eager to go to his classes… He is one who really makes a difference."
