Jennifer Morris is our first CISD staff spotlight for CTE (Career and Technical Education) month.
Miss. Morris teaches Ag classes and is the FFA sponsor.
Here's what Miss. Morris has to say about herself and the classes she teaches:
"I have been teaching for 20 years, 17 of those in agriculture. I grew up on a farm and ranch, so
agriculture is my life. I am a Colorado High graduate. I received my Bachelor of Science in
Agriculture Development and a Masters of Education in Agriculture Education from Texas
A&M University. I entered this field to help kids know more about the food they eat, the
clothes they wear, and how they can become a part of that process. Everything is tied to
Agriculture in some way or another, so learning and sharing about what it has to offer is both empowering and rewarding!
I teach the following classes: Agriculture Food & Natural Resources, Floral & Advanced
Floral Design, Horticulture Science, Greenhouse Operations, Landscape Design, Small
Animal Management, Equine Science, Livestock Production, Vet Med Applications and
Advanced Animal Science.
Lastly, FFA is so important to me because it's a big part as it supports the classroom. Kids involved in FFA may have projects they keep records on, compete in Leadership, Career Development, and Speaking contests. Those students also attend banquets, Conventions, and camps to continue bettering their leadership qualities. Some of the FFA members can
run for Chapter, District, Area, and even State or National Officers. It is a big networking family that wears blue corduroy! "
Miss Morris is an asset to the CISD family, and we are proud to call her our own! Once a Wolf, always a Wolf!
