Jimmy KlemsteinSince Clements opening in 1983, Mr. Jimmy Klemstein served as the FFA advisor for the Clements FFA chapter and is now retired. He is still very much involved in the chapter, as well as supporting local youth in the Fort Bend County Fair.
Mr. Klemstein was honored with the naming of the Agriculture Barn in which our students and 3 other schools raise their animal projects for their supervised agriculture experiences. It is located behind Kempner High School. He visits our BBQ booth at the Fort Bend County Fair and makes sure to tell us how it is to keep us honest with our customers!! Thank you Mr. Klemstein for all you have done and continue to do for the agricultural community in our school and beyond! |
