Julia Lemin, FFA Advisor / Agricultural Science Teacher 

This is my sixth year as an FFA Sponsor at Kemp High School. I have been in Education for six years as well. FFA is a big part of my life, because it instills core values into your life and teaches you responsibility, how to be a leader in your community and how to problem solve.

Ross Jones, Agricultural Mechanics & Metal Fabrication and Lead FFA Advisor

This is my second year as an FFA Sponsor/ag teacher at KHS; I have been in Education for six years. I have 28 years of agriculture experience, from farming to raching to welding. I enjoy teaching these young men and women who are seeking to better themselves in skilled labor. I just don't teach welding, I teach how to navigate this life and be successful by working hard and sweating a little.
