Under the leadership of Joe Norfleet, the Vocational Agriculture Department and local chapter of the FFA initiated use of the building in the 1938–1939 school year as the Smith-Hughes Vocational Agriculture course was added into the high school's curriculum as an elective.
 Students met daily in the building, studying agricultural topics and planting methods in the classroom, working on projects in the shop, and traveling to nearby agricultural fields to plant, cultivate, and harvest crops.
Between 1938 and 1942, students held fund-raising activities to travel to Havana, Cuba, World's Fair in New York City, Washington, D. C., and the Florida State Fair in Tampa.

In 1940, the Bunnell FFA chapter earned the highest rank in Florida's FFA high school statewide program.
Judges assessed students for achievement in community service leadership, cooperative activities, earnings and savings from demonstration plots, and recreational and scholarship activities.
