Hi, I'm Jacy Klaus, owner and operator of Wildfire Education. I was raised on a farm in Illinois where we produced corn, soybeans, hay, beef cattle, and bucking bulls. My family believes in Jesus, honesty and hard work. I spent a good chunk of my life on the back of a horse working cattle, competing in rodeos, and as a rodeo queen. Advocating for the agriculture and rodeo industries is a passion of mine. I attended Fort Hays State University which led me to my teaching career in western Kansas. I married my husband Trenton in 2020. He works for his family's fencing business and produces Red Angus cattle. We were blessed with a beautiful baby girl in 2022 and we hope to raise her with the same morals and values that were instilled in us.I am a former agriculture education teacher and FFA advisor with a Master's Degree in Education. Through my time working in the public school system, I have learned that it is not the best fit for everyone. Spending time with kids who are hands-on learners and have good work ethics has taught me to value the student themselves over their academic performance. Do I still want students to get good grades? Yes. However, I believe we have to start by looking at the student, who they are, and who they want to be in order to get the grades they want. We have been taught that we need to have certain things (grades) in order to do what we want to do (go to college) to be who we want to be (career). I believe students, all people really, need to be the person they need to be in order to do what they want to do and have the things they want to have. This is the foundation of Wildfire Education. WE strive to give students a quality education while teaching them the skills they need to be successful in life.
