Russellville FFA was established in 1948 in a one-room school house that was moved to the then Russellville High School-now Russellville Elementary. Agriculture Education classes have been known to have begun as early as 1922. Agriculture Education classes have been offered at Russellville every year since 1947. A shop and classroom replacement would come later at the original high school until Russellville High School moved to its current location west of town which now includes two classrooms, welding shop, wood shop, greenhouse and gardens.
