A huge thank you to Farm Credit mid-America for celebrating the end of FFA Week with our junior and senior classes. They provided students with donuts, milk and apples from Wolffs orchard. Loan officer Denise Rhodes gave a career presentation to students, offered the programs Farm Credit has available to them and explained benefits of going into the Agricultural field .
Additionally, alumnus Landon Rhodes joined us and talked with students about his experience at The Ohio State University, reasons why agriculture is important and what lead him to his current choices.
👏🏼 thank you for spending time with our students, they greatly appreciate the information
Did you know this is the 40th anniversary of drive your tractor to school day?! Mr. Sam Farmer was the first United FFA member to drive a tractor in 1984. He joined the celebration this morning.
Agriculture is the root of our community. The display of tractors not only symbolizes the impact agriculture has on our school, but our community as well. There are 2,115 production agriculture operations in Columbiana county that produce $106,666,000 annually in valued products. Thats a huge economic impact! It was a great morning to recognize farmering, the future of farming and the young people rooted in the values agriculture embraces.
HAPPY NATIONAL FFA WEEK (ps. Check out the pedal tractor)‼️

Shout out to our hard-working seniors in the Building Trades II class who learned to read blueprints and now are putting their knowledge to use. They are using the construction skills that they have learned so far this year to build garden sheds. They are also learning about marketing. Students had to make a bill of materials for their sheds and estimate what the materials would cost. Once their sheds are complete they will advertise for and sell their sheds, and then determine their profit margin. This journey teaches teamwork, problem-solving, and determination. These seniors are becoming both builders and entrepreneurs, ready for the future.
Students in Agriculture, Food & Natural resource class wrapped up their Unit conversations lesson today in the Food Science section by converting measurements (cups, teaspoons, milliliters, etc). They then converted units in a trail mix recipe, practiced proper methods of measuring and made their own trail mix! Next, they will be calculating the nutritional facts and building a nutrition label for their product.
Students in Plant & Animal science are moving along with their hydroponics projects. Check out the progress!
This project is teaching students analysis and management decision methods. How to convert measurement units (teaspoons to milliliters for example). Apply principles learning in class hands on. Analyzing plant deficiencies, making management decisions to correct with proper nutrient requirements.
