Altoona School 4-H program meets on Wednesdays after school.

Welcome to the Altoona Eagles 4-H Club...
Our 4-H program offers students the opportunity to explore beyond the classroom. Our club has groups focused on goats, chickens, rabbits, hogs and arts and crafts. We take several animals and projects to the Lake County Fair each year. For more information about our club contact the 4-H leader, Beth Nelson.
