PARKER COUNTY’S
WONDER WOMAN
PEYTON THOMAS
BY CHRISTINA LOVELESS
Peyton Thomas, a senior at Poolville High School, is the
secretary for her school’s FFA program and has been showing a
variety of animals for the last four years.
Some of Peyton’s biggest victories have come while
showing Breeding Swine, Milking Goats and Breeding Goats.
In the show ring, Peyton is a big success. Although she
has won numerous awards over the span of her four-year
show career, one of her favorites was her victory at the Parker
County Youth Livestock Show where she won the High Overall
Livestock Judging award.
“Basically it’s first place,” Peyton said.
Aside from showing animals, Peyton is in the National
Honor Society, she serves on her high school’s student council,
works on her school’s yearbook staff and is a member of the
Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She’s also an active member
of the Spring Creek 4-H Club and has an internship with the
Parker County Agriculture Extension Agency.
Peyton’s plans after graduating high school include going
to a four-year university to work toward a major in Agricultural
Leadership and Development with a minor in Agricultural
Science. All of those plans are just a part of reaching for her
ultimate goal of becoming an agricultural extension agent.
