Hello, welcome to Thomson Middle School! I am Mr. Kenneth Ford Jr. I was born and raised on a family farm in Southwest Georgia and graduated from Early County High School in 2006. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural Education from The Fort Valley State University in 2011, followed by a Master's degree in Agriscience Education from Auburn University in 2015, and an Educational Specialist Degree in Agriscience Education from Auburn University in 2016. Currently, I am a Doctoral Candidate in Agriscience Education/CTAE at Auburn University.

This marks my 12th year teaching Agricultural Education and serving as an FFA Advisor. Outside of teaching, I am a farmer, growing peanuts and cotton, and raising various livestock including beef cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep. I have a deep passion for all things agriculture and enjoy working outdoors and engaging in hands-on activities.

I have a wonderful wife and together we have five amazing children. Additionally, I am a proud member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated, where I serve as the Chapter President of the Fort Valley Alumni Chapter, Beta Delta Sigma, and the State Director of Sigma Beta Clubs for Georgia, mentoring over 170 young men aged 8-18.
