Shout Out to YCS Maintenance Department

The Starmount Ag Department advisors, students and FFA members would like to give a shout out to the work that the Yadkin County Maintenance department did on the new Greenhouse for SHS. They cleared the land, removed brush and stumps and leveled the site in order to begin construction, the best it has ever looked!  These guys did an excellent job constructing this new greenhouse and they deserve recognition. They work together, efficiently and professionally, we are lucky to have them in our county. Special thanks to Jeff Adams for organizing the work and a big shout out to the guys who made it all come together, they are: Brandon Hinshaw, Ryan Dowd, Brock Spann, Grayson Keaton, David Spaugh and Randall Hardison. 

Thanks again,

Cody Allen, Marty Andrews, SHS FFA and Ag Department/CTE students
