We celebrated our SkillsUSA Signing Day at the Ohio Valley CTC!
Our students have put in the work, earning credentials, gaining real-world experience, and committing to their future careers. Just like athletes signing to the next level, this is a major milestone.
Thank you to our families, staff, advisors, and community partners for supporting these students every step of the way.
Thank you C103 for helping share the successes of our students

Day one of State FFA convention was a hit! We stopped by Spectrum Analytics in Washington Courthouse and learned about how soil, manure, forages, and other plant based items are tested. We saw first hand how we derive pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, among other micronutrients are derived from the samples sent to Spectrum. Our next stop: SugarCreek Packing to learn how bacon 🥓 is processed and packaged. A highlight to our day was seeing an amazing collection of cars, motorcycles, and boats following our tour! Special thanks to the team at both Spectrum Analytics and SugarCreek for having us be a part of their day! After settling in to our hotel and eating some good food at Longhorn Steakhouse, we rounded the night out with some fun at Activate Games! Started our morning with some great sessions and an excellent message from Brad Hurtig. We are excited for our very own Colt Johnson as he competes for a final 4 spot in the Agricultural Mechanics and Repair category with his proficiency! 🔧

Ag Mech is back at it again—and not slowing down anytime soon.
Fence project ✅
Now onto the next challenge… adding a drainage ditch to support an upcoming build. From moving dirt to solving real-world problems, our students are learning what it takes to get the job done right.
This is what hands-on learning looks like—seeing a need, making a plan, and getting after it. Proud of the work ethic and skills being built every single day.

Thank you Adams County Cattleman’s for a great evening of fun and fellowship at the annual banquet held in Winchester, Ohio. This was the second year for the FFA steak 🥩 cook-off. Our team placed 3rd and received $200 for their efforts! Cole Manning; (Ag Business senior) and Bryce Winterod (Ag Business junior) represented our chapter well! Special thanks to our local Cattleman’s Association for the invite and for supporting our students and community! It was great to get an update from our very own Ohio Department of Agriculture Director: Brian Baldridge. The Director did a super job and crossed over references to why FFA and 4H are vital to our future. Shoutouts to many others who helped make this a success! Manning Packing for the great cowboy ribeyes, Red Oak Smoke for the great food, and Kenny McCann and family for donating the halters for the youth in attendance. Looking forward to next year!

Ag Mech has been BUSY, and that’s exactly how we like it.
The best way to learn is by doing, and our students proved that this week. From running heavy equipment to tear down a wall, to maintaining machinery for hay season, leveling ground, spreading gravel, and prepping for a new fence, these students didn’t just learn… they worked.
Real skills. Real experience. Real results. That’s what sets our students apart.
