2024-2025 Advisors

Nipomo FFA Owls.jpg

Our advisors are the beating hearts of our organization! They are more than just a classroom teacher, throughout the year they will serve as your advisor for many things. If you decide to do a CDE, LDE, or even an animal these lovely owls will assist you and teach you to be the best possible FFA member and person you can be! All of these advisors were active in the FFA and have years of experience in the field that they teach as well asin their animal they advise. During the second semester some of the advisors take up the mantle of instructing new teachers that are in the Cal Poly education pathway. These student teachers will also play a part in instructing and helping the students in every way they can.
