Barn Doors Open, Futures Grow: Leadership Rockwall invites community to ‘Barn Day’ Feb. 7

ROCKWALL, TX (Jan. 15, 2026) Leadership Rockwall 2026, a program of the Rockwall Area Chamber of Commerce, recently unveiled its class project: the Agri-Innovation Barn, supporting Rockwall FFA and Rockwall County 4-H programs.

This initiative will modernize the Rockwall ISD Ag Barn, creating an enhanced space for hands-on learning in animal science, horticulture, welding, and more.

Through collaboration with local businesses and community volunteers, the project invests in student skill development, career readiness, and the future of agricultural education in Rockwall.

To showcase their plans for the revitalization, Leadership Rockwall will host a Barn Day event from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7 at the Ag facility located at 827 Riding Club Road. Interested community members and potential sponsors are invited.

A final reveal and ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for May 13, 2026.
