0 responses 0 comments Tehachapi High School principal Mike Arredondo welcomed students and guests to the groundbreaking of the new agricultural facility at the school, thanking all of the people who worked hard for many years to make it happen.
Speakers included Tehachapi Unified School District Superintendent Marian Stephens, school board member Curtis Ward and FFA advisor Rick Cotta. Each thanked the community for the dedication and support they had received over the years, saying that FFA was a program the entire community could be proud of.
Julie Bolterman and Christy Leishman, members of the Agriculture Boosters Club spoke and reminded the audience that Tehachapi FFA celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. They went on to say, “Fifty years ago, many of the FFA students lived on ranches and farms and FFA classes helped teach students how to make the family businesses more profitable. Today, few students live on farms. It is more important than ever for the program to succeed.”
