On Tuesday, July 21, Highland High School students participated in the Washington County Fair Poultry Show. Our exhibitors earned blue ribbons and gained valuable knowledge about their birds through the judging process. Exhibiting was Chase and Jacob Robinson.

The poultry project is a great opportunity for students to learn about laying hens, proper poultry management, and the animals that provide the eggs we enjoy every day.

Congratulations to all of our poultry exhibitors on a great show!
