 The basis of this project is to update and enhance our current livestock barn at the high school. We have growing numbers every year, yet our last remodel in 2009 has been outdated. This barn will accommodate more animals and FFA students. Without these updates we are turning away our future business men and women do to lack of space. These projects promote leadership skills, career skills, and much more. The FFA students would like to partake in as many responsibilities as possible. Due to district policies we must higher certain contractors for certain jobs.

Impact on our Future Leaders

This will not only accommodate our current students but bring in new students seeing the construction going on It will allow students the experience of a lifetime through an SAE livestock project These students are our future public authorities, and hopefully they will look back at this time in their life and thank us.
