Shout out to our Ag Department, who have been busy in the social media-sphere of late!

Teacher Ms. Johannes was recently featured on an episode of SharkFarmerXM's podcast. Shortly thereafter, she was asked to do a video interview, as well ("A Shot of Ag"). In each appearance, Ms. Johannes talks about her experiences as an Ag teacher, FFA, and readying the next generation of students in today's agricultural climate.

Not to be forgotten or outdone, student Brier Engelmann was recently featured in a video interview with the Beyond the Jacket Podcast, where she talks about her life in the world of show pigs.

We are incredibly proud to have Ms. Johannes and Brier demonstrate why our Ag department and FFA program are the best around!
