This project was driven by NFPA Standards and ISO Compliance guidelines.  These 2 organizations set guidelines and standards that all fire departments have to meet in order to maintain a ISO classification rating which affects homeowner as well as business insurance rates. The lower the ISO Rating the Lower the Insurance rates are.  During our required annual testing last year we had several sections of hose fail the test so we had to replace it. We also were short some vital pieces of equipment that we were able to purchase. Thanks for awarding us this grant because without your help it would have been difficult for us to have made the purchase.

The SCHS FFA is dedicated to helping students reach their full potential in premiere leadership, personal growth, and career success. This year, the SCHS FFA hosted a BOOT (Building Occupational Opportunities for Tomorrow) camp for seniors to help them get more prepared and more confident in being college or career ready. After gaining knowledge from attending the National FFA Convention, FFA members and officers collaborated with partners from the ALFA, Georgia Pacific, International Paper, Coastal Alabama Community College, and other in the community to host hands on training with practice and feedback in the areas of communications, teamwork, resume writing, social media use, and interviewing.

Thanks to the help of Alabama Tom RC&D, the Conecuh County Jr. Cattlemen were able to purchase a portable set of bleachers that will be used from year to year. These bleachers which have the extra wide foot, side rails and even a middle rail that will allow all spectators  an opportunity to enjoy the Pig, Chicken, Goat, and Steer and Heifer Show.  Because these bleachers are portable, this will allow them to be transported to different events, regardless of the location.
