🌾✂️ An historic day for Pender High School! On this National Agriculture Day, we proudly cut the ribbon on our brand-new agriculture barn, a project made possible by a $100,000 CTE grant! 🎉 Students, staff, and community members came together to celebrate this exciting step forward for agricultural education at PHS.
🐄💡 This barn isn’t just a building—it’s a hands-on learning space where students will gain real-world agricultural experience for years to come. CTE Teacher Mr. Thomas Herren calls this a defining moment in his teaching career, and Future Farmers of America President Jessica Williams shares how his passion has made a lasting impact on PHS students. 🌱
🎥 Watch our video to see how Mr. Herren’s dedication is shaping the future of agricultural education at Pender High! Today, we’re not just cutting a ribbon—we’re growing something great! 🌾💙 More on Mr. Herren’s grant - https://bit.ly/4kyQKQV
