St. Clair County Commission recognizes 4‑H students who reached national poultry contests
Summary
County commissioners heard from 4‑H participants who competed at state and national poultry events; staff said the commission's past funding helped pay contest registration and enabled scholarship opportunities for participants.
County commissioners began their work session by welcoming Extension and 4‑H participants who had advanced from state competitions to national events. The commission chair introduced Extension staff and the county’s 4‑H coordinator and thanked them for their work; the coordinator highlighted three students who competed nationally and noted the tangible support the county previously provided for registration costs.
"All 3 of them have received a $1,000 scholarship to Auburn University," the 4‑H coordinator said, noting those awards apply if the students pursue poultry science. The presentation emphasized workforce and life‑skill benefits: students who participate in ag programs develop work habits and practical skills that local officials described as valuable to the county’s labor pipeline. Commissioners posed for photos and congratulated the youth before moving on to the next agenda item.
