Pleasantville High School agriculture teacher Monty Collins was honored by the Iowa Council on Agricultural Education with the Agriculture Career Awareness Award.

Collins was selected for the Pleasantville Ag Ed program holding a school-wide career fair every other year to learn about a wide variety of career, having business representatives visit the school as guest speakers and providing job shadowing opportunities, as well as having cattle, swine, and crop projects completely managed by the students. The award was presented at the Iowa FFA Leadership Conference held in Ames.
