Officers 

Hello, I’m Heidi Sherman this is my 4th year in FFA and my 1st year as an officer. I am the daughter of John and Donna Sherman and the sister to Cody (20). I’m involved in the Richmond 4-H. I’m also very involved in activities around the Walworth County Fair: working the milk booth, selling milk, and checking over the incubator at the poultry barn. I am also the 2022-2023 poultry herdsman. In FFA I’ve been involved in many things, the fruit sale, plant sale, stuff the bus, ducks unlimited, and many more. During school, I also run the incubator in ag class and take care of the chicks while managing school. In this position, I’m planning on helping many people and answering questions people may have. What I hope to accomplish, is getting to know more people and our alumni and having an amazing year.

Greetings. I’m Mr. Majors. My wife is Margaret, our daughter is Miranda, our son is Matt and our daughter in law is Madison.
