The Malad High School welding department is working hard to keep up with industry standards and get its students ready to join the workforce. With help from the Idaho Career Readiness grant, they were awarded $32,000 in the fall of 2025. This money was used to purchase 8 new multi-process welders to help accommodate the increase in class sizes and interest in the industry.

Over the past 4 years, Malad High School Ag department has received roughly $136,300 in grants to help improve the equipment, shop facility, and purchase new materials for the classroom. This includes a welding shop remodel, new welding equipment, a CNC plasma table, a greenhouse growth chamber, Animal Models, and an Interactive Display TV.

The program is growing thanks to the continuous support and interest of students, families, the FFA, and the community. We hope to continue to grow and offer as many opportunities to our students as possible. Please reach out to Mrs.Evans at Malad High School with any questions or to find out more about how you can support the growth!
