I have taught Agricultural Science and Technology at Meridian High School for 32 years. 

The main subjects I teach are Basic and Advance Welding. 

Since I grew up in the Meridian area, and graduated from Meridian High School, I have seen the community change from a generally agricultural area to an urban area.  While this concerns some, it makes me excited to teach agriculture and mechanics to students who are just a generation or two away from farming.  We all need to be aware of our natural resources and teaching in a large district, with 12 fellow agriculture instructors, I know many students are hearing the message of the career opportunities available in agriculture!
