Congratulations to CTE Teacher of the Year Finalist Brooke Phipps from Piedmont Middle
Brooke Phipps serves as the Agriculture Teacher and FFA Advisor at Piedmont Middle School. She graduated from Piedmont High school in 2006, and went on the North Carolina State University to major in Agriculture Education, graduating in 2010. She has taught Agriculture Education a total of fourteen years. She came back to Union County to teach in 2016, teaching at Forest Hills High School before moving this past school year to start the agriculture program at Piedmont Middle. Her passion for agriculture came from growing up around her family’s farm, but the idea to teach agriculture came from her high school agriculture teachers & FFA experience. Brooke strives every day to teach students where their food comes from and how it gets from “farm to plate” but also give students an experience inside and outside the classroom that will help them build life skills so that they can be good employees and citizens.
