The West Plains School District recently celebrated the grand opening
of its new Agriculture Science facility, a 10,500-square-foot space that
supports current trends in agriculture. Funds for the project were done
through the “Raising the Barn” fundraising campaign. FCS Financial, a
large contributor to the campaign, has also contributed $5,000 to the
West Plains High School FFA greenhouse, which is under construction
and will be next to the new facility.
