NEW AT 6: After 51 years, G.W. Long’s campus is overdue for a new Agri-Science building.
Daniel Barrentine, Principal at G.W. Long says, “This existing ag shop that we’re in right now is very old, so it’s been a long time coming.”“We have a lot of quality things that go on in here, and so now the building is going to represent what our kids and our ag program already do,” continues Barrentine.
Many are a part of “Future Farmers of America,” a student organization using the ag shop for different projects. “Working on bird houses, putting together Christmas trees, and then last year I got to help put reindeer together at Christmas time to sell to people out in our community,” expresses Hayden Stell, FFA President at G.W. Long.He says students don’t have to be interested in farming to appreciate the program.
Stell finishes, “There’s so many different skills that we can learn in this ag shop and in the FFA that I can use throughout my life and different careers that I may choose.” Heat and air will guarantee more time working in the shop, something students and staff are grateful for.
