Ms. Tessa Meyer:
I will be starting my 3rd year of teaching this year and will be teaching Agriculture Education along with being the FFA Advisor. I'm most excited to see the students get involved in learning about agriculture and FFA. My hobbies outside of school include anything outside (kayaking, walking, learning to golf badly, etc.) and getting to know the community.
Welcome to Titan Nation!
