Franklin Simpson High School Tomorrow’s Leaders Explore Agriculture!
Our Tomorrow’s Leaders students are on the road today for Agriculture Day!
We kicked off the day at Western Kentucky University’s Bowling Green Farm, where students had the opportunity to learn more about agriculture, education, careers, and the important role this industry plays in our region.
A big thank you to WKU for hosting our students and investing your time in the next generation of leaders!
Next stop—back home in Simpson County! We’re continuing Agriculture Day as guests of Robertson Farms, giving our students another firsthand look at agriculture right here in our own community.
And Agriculture Day wouldn’t be complete without a great farm-style lunch! A special shout-out to the Cattlemen’s Association for providing grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for our students. We appreciate our community partners who make experiences like this possible!
And a very special thank you to Franklin Bank & Trust Company for sponsoring Tomorrow’s Leaders for the fifth consecutive year! Their continued investment in our students makes opportunities like today possible and helps provide meaningful experiences that develop, connect, and inspire our next generation of leaders.
Today is all about learning beyond the classroom, exploring future possibilities, connecting with our community, and growing as leaders.

IT’S TIME TO DONATE YOUR LUNCH MONEY! We’re celebrating the 10th Annual Donate Your Lunch Money Fundraiser, and we need our community to help us make this year BIG!

Donate in person: Thursday, September 17 | 11:00 AM–1:00 PM Wildfire BBQ & Grill / 31W Bar & Grill
Can’t make it? No problem! Scan the QR code on the flyer to donate online.
A few dollars may seem like small change, but when an entire community gives together, and Hunt Ford matches, small change makes a BIG difference! A huge thank-you to Hunt Ford for continuing to champion this fundraiser and our students year after year.
