Welcome to Ms. McCulley's Class!
About Ms. McCulley
Hello and Welcome! I am Ms. McCulley and I will be your/your child's agriculture teacher!
I am a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, where I received a B.S. in Plant and Soil Science, along with my Agriculture Education teaching endorsement. I am from East Tennessee, specifically Cleveland, TN.
I have a great love and passion for agriculture, and education. I believe that through a quality education in agriculture, students will possess many skills and knowledge that allows them to achieve great things in the workforce and in post-secondary education.
What is FFA?
As one of my students, you or your student is automatically a member of FFA. TN is an affiliated state, therefore, students are not required to pay dues.
The official name of the organization is the National FFA Organization.
The letters “FFA” stand for Future Farmers of America. These letters are a part of our history and our heritage that will never change. But FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more. For this reason, the name of the organization was updated in 1988 after a vote of national convention delegates to reflect the growing diversity and new opportunities in the industry of agriculture.
Today, the National FFA Organization remains committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of agricultural career pathways. So today, we are still the Future Farmers of America. But, we are the Future Biologists, Future Chemists, Future Veterinarians, Future Engineers and Future Entrepreneurs of America, too.
