West Greene High School is welcoming a new face to its agriculture science program this year following Mrs. Wright’s transition to a new position within the school district. Stepping into the role is Ms. Adalyn Reed, who brings energy and a passion for agricultural education to the classroom and FFA program. Ms. Reed has prior experience with West Greene, as she student-taught at the district during the 2021-2022 school year.
Ms. Reed is coming into the district with a lot of ideas and goals for not only this school year, but for the extended future. “I want students to see that agriculture is for everyone—whether their interests are animals, plants, mechanics, leadership, or business. My goal is to offer a variety of hands-on opportunities, competitions, and projects that help students find their niche.”, states Reed.
If students take anything away from her class, Reed hopes it will be confidence in themselves, and the ability to recognize the value of hard work, leadership, and teamwork. Even if the students don’t want to pursue a career in agriculture, she feels she would have accomplished her goal if students left her classroom with practical life skills and an appreciation for the industry that feeds and sustains us all.
Reed expressed her clear excitement about her new position by stating, “I’m so excited to be back at West Greene and to work alongside our students and community. This program has deep roots and a bright future, and I can’t wait to grow it together. Agriculture education is about more than just farming—it’s about leadership, growth, and opportunity. I look forward to a great year ahead.”
