The Keokuk High School was presented with a $15,000 grant for the new Future Farmers of America (FFA) Chapter, which boasts 82 student members.
The FFA chapter is a part of the brand-new Agriculture program that started this fall, which is a pathway for students as part of Career and Technical Education (CTE) at KHS.
Brady Martin, the former Mt. Pleasant High School FFA advisor and new at Keokuk, commented.
“The FFA program is a huge opportunity for students of different backgrounds to participate in many different ways,” Brady Martin, Agriculture Program director and FFA advisor at KHS, said. This grant, “helps eliminate barriers right off the bat because most of chapter funding comes from fundraisers in the fall and spring.”
