Mr. Steven DuBose

As a native of South Carolina growing up on a century farm, I was exposed to different types of agriculture. From raising calves and lambs from bottles to helping grow gardens. Throughout my youth, a diverse selection of animals was held at my family farm, such as horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens. As a student in high school, I was actively involved in my FFA chapter where I served in various officer positions.

My agriculture classes and FFA memories are what led me to become an agriculture teacher, which helped me obtain leadership skills. As a teacher I enjoy seeing students exposed to various agriculture aspects.

During my free time I enjoy gardening and woodworking.

My favorite seasons of the year are spring and fall. Where the temperatures change and the beautiful colors of plants spring to life and wither away. 

My favorite colors are green and blue.
