AKRON – For Mike Jones, the new agriculture teacher at Tippecanoe Valley High School, being hired by Tippecanoe Valley is a homecoming of sorts. Jones graduated from Valley in 1993, and after college spent 17 years teaching agriculture at Argos High School. His roots at Valley go even deeper – his wife Lacey works as a special education teacher at Mentone Elementary, and his children attend Tippecanoe Valley as well. In addition to teaching agriculture, Jones will be leading the FFA program at the high school, where 50 to 60 students currently participate. “I really want to get kids participating in more contests,” Jones said, adding, “The competition and leadership in FFA are outstanding.”
