Sarah Armbruster
Club President
I'm Sarah Armbruster, the 2026 Horticultural Club President and what inspired me to join was being in the advanced plant and soil science class and learning about the Club in that class definitely sold me. I work hard to do my part, and help raise money for the Club overall.
Mackenzie DeBoard
Club Vice-President
My names Mackenzie, and im Vice-President for the 2026 School year. I was persuaded to join the Horticulture Club for a multitude of reasons. The great opportunities, the enriching learning environment, and the overall rewards! You have the opportunity to do something great, so take advantage of it.

I’ve learned a lot in the Horticultural Club like for example, being more social and experiencing different and new things as a whole. This Club has been the greatest part of my high school years and I’d be in it forever if I could.
Laura Madera
The Horticulture Club plays a major role in my life, and I take a lot of pride in being an active and dependable member. I consistently put in extra effort during food days by staying after school to help with preparation, setting up, and making sure everything is organized and ready on time. I also help with packing and sorting produce and supplies, which can be busy but is always rewarding because it supports the success of the Club as a whole.

Horticulture Club Sponsor
The Horticulture Club grew out of a desire to give plant science students something deeper than lectures and worksheets. After managing a commercial vegetable farm that supplied produce to H‑E‑B, Whole Foods, Central Market, and several restaurants, I saw firsthand how meaningful hands‑on agricultural experiences can be.
I wanted my students to have that same opportunity—to learn by doing, to understand plants from seed to harvest, and to build real skills that matter beyond the classroom.
At the same time, I recognized that some students have the passion and drive to do more, so I created a structure that not only supports hands‑on learning but also generates funds for scholarships. The club became a way to invest in students’ futures while teaching the practical, rewarding work of plant science.
