Jenna Barefoot
Agriculture Teacher
jenna.barefoot@polk-fl.netI went to Kathleen Middle and Kathleen High School. I was very involved in the Kathleen FFA chapters. I went on to the University of Florida for a degree in Agricultural Education and Communication. I’ve worked at Kathleen High and Tenoroc High before taking some time off with my babies. I look forward to a great year offering many opportunities for KMS agriculture students and FFA members.
