Mr. Stoddard is a teacher in the high school Ag Science Department. He teaches Plant Science and Ag Mechanics pathways. He helped design and coach the small animal scale that placed second in class at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. This is the first time Southside has had a student place in this contest. Mr. Stoddard has started a partnership with Fanick’s Nursery to help our horticulture students gain real world industry experience.
Congratulations to Dacee Vela for placing 2nd in Ag Mechanics at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. Dacee and her project partner built a 4’ x 2’ x 4’ small animal scale that upon the completion of showing will be going into use in the Ag Department sheep and goat barn. Dacee is the first Southside student that has placed at the Ag Mechanics show. On top of the 2nd place showing, she earned prizes including 50 lbs. of welding rods, a portable stick welder and much more.
