Fillmore FFA is excited to welcome Mr. Salvador Lopez to Fillmore High School. Mr. Lopez is an alumnus at FHS and he was an involved FFA member serving as an officer and earning his American degree. Mr. Lopez is the 8th child in his family of 12 which have all been through the FFA program. He grew up in Bardsdale, which got him into agriculture by working in the citrus and avocado where he changed irrigation lines and cared for the trees. That helped Mr. Lopez grow his passion for agriculture. He raised steers all 4 years of high school. On the side, he raised 942 chickens, 13 dairy goats, 3 sheep, 3 pigs, ducks, and a heifer. Mr. Lopez attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and earned his credential; he has been part of the Carpinteria FFA for the past 5 years. Fillmore FFA is excited for the passion and dedication Mr. Lopez brings to the chapter and is looking forward to learning from him this school year.
