ACHS greenhouse is open for 2026 spring season The FFA Greenhouse is now open at ACHS. It is a state of the art facility that allows students in the Adair County School system to propagate, care for, and sell plants to our community. With irrigation, an automatic shade cloth, trench drain, and cool cell, the growing environment is optimal for plant growth. The funds that are raised from the sale of the plants are used to fund FFA projects, food for events and travel expenses for events. The greenhouse is located on the school campus behind the high school in Columbia. 2026-04-18 23:36:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

Baseball: Van Cleave shocks Vandy, Kentucky walks it off By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY -- Baseball has a funny way of humbling you...then flipping everything upside down before you can even process what just happened.
