My name is Christian Stanley and I am so excited to be teaching and serving as the coordinator at the Ag Academy. I grew up with a passion for agriculture. I worked on my grandparent's farm through my time in college before moving to Auburn University. I grew up in Southern Illinois and was very active in the FFA during high school. I graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale in 2018 and was offered a graduate assistantship at Auburn University where I instructed courses, participated in academic research, and managed the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Mathematics lab for the Agrisicence Education department. I spent the previous year teaching high school in Lee County and served as advisor for their FFA chapter. I currently live in Troy and am so happy to be a part of the Pike County community!
