Becky Sponholtz, Executive Director, grew up in Palm Beach County, home of the Everglades Agricultural Area, where she developed an early appreciation for the impact of agriculture on her community. Her passion for the industry was cemented at Auburn University, where she majored in Animal Science and further deepened her knowledge and commitment to the field. Years later, her love for education began to take root when she stepped in as a substitute teacher for the agriculture program in Fort Pierce, an experience that sparked a new chapter dedicated to inspiring the next generation in agriculture.

Becky joined Florida Agriculture in the Classroom as Education Program Manager in June 2013 and was named Executive Director in February 2017. Prior to her work with FAITC, she served as an Agriscience Instructor and FFA Advisor for seven years at Keystone Heights High School and for two years at Fort Pierce Westwood High School, where she dedicated herself to agricultural education and student leadership development.

She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science and a Master of Agriculture from Auburn University. Becky is married to Corbin Sponholtz, and together they have two children, a son, Landon, and a daughter, Chandlee.
