To wrap up the week in style, we’re shining a spotlight on Elkton High Schools Ag teacher and FFA advisor, Mr. Zubke! It’s his 5th year in the district, and becoming an educator was always a dream of his, in part because a number of relatives on his mom’s side of the family were teachers. He likes to cook, so he would enjoy sitting in on Mrs. Jaack’s Culinary Arts class. Mr. Zubke has extensive knowledge on the subject of goats, and his dream vacation would be heading to Alaska with his wife. Thank you, Mr. Zubke, for all you do for our students and the Elkton School District!
