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

This is my third year as an FFA Sponsor/ag teacher at KHS; I have been in Education for seven years. I have 29 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 don't just teach welding, I teach how to navigate this life and be successful by working hard and sweating a little.
