Scott Palmer got involved
with the alumni group
through his granddaugh-
ter Macy Rosselle, who is
the current PHS chapter
president.
“I’ve been to a lot of
goat shows and that was my
introduction to it,” Palmer
said.
During this past sum-
mer’s Umatilla County Fair,
Palmer was introduced to
Jensen. A former Round-Up
queen, Jensen joined Camp-
bell — who was previously
named agriscience teacher
of the year at the state FFA
convention — as a co-advi-
sor of the PHS chapter.
Palmer said with Camp-
bell’s experience and Jen-
sen’s enthusiasm, the duo
has big plans for the pro-
gram’s future.

auction can be purchased
from the Pendleton School
