ROD VINCENT INDUCTED TO AG TEACHERS ASSOCIATION OF TEXAS HALL OF FAME

  

Retired agricultural science instructor Rod Vincent of Bellville was recently inducted to the Agriculture Teachers Association of Texas (ATAT) Hall of Fame. 

Vincent, who started his career in 1988 and taught at New Caney and Bellville until 2023, was one of 43 teachers from across the state inducted during the ATAT’s annual Professional Development Conference last month. 

The ATAT Hall of Fame recognizes and honors agricultural science teachers whose careers, achievements and contributions stand as exemplary.  Inductees are known as well-rounded professionals that have proven their success with FFA activities, in the classroom, as well as community involvement.  The organization says the individuals “have proven their desire to provide students with opportunities for premier leadership, personal growth and career success over a significant period of time.”

During Vincent’s time teaching in Bellville, the Bellville FFA chapter has earned numerous accolades, including many state judging titles and national championships. 

ATAT Executive Director Ray Pieniazek says, “Without educators like Mr. Vincent, ATAT and Texas FFA wouldn’t be where they are today.  Our agriculture education teachers spend countless hours in professional development to better serve our students and prepare them for their future.  We thank him for his years of service, and we honor his commitment with this Hall of Fame recognition.”
