Agriscience teacher Scott Poague is back home at Elmore County High School where it all started for him as a high school student.

“Mr. (Turner) Porter influenced me a lot in high school,” Poague said. “My dream was to come back (to ECHS) and teach when he got ready to retire. I worked my way around and eventually got to come back home.”
