The National FFA Association is a national
organization with about 500,000 members nationwide. This student
organization provides scholarships, proficiency awards, and gives
the students opportunities to be on judging teams. Locally, our FFA
students are involved in livestock judging, parliamentary
procedure, citrus judging, prepared public speaking, extemporaneous
public speaking, creed speaking, tractor operations, dairy judging,
and horse judging.
In
state competitions, our FFA members have accomplished great things,
and EVERY year delegates are sent to the Nationals! They have won first place in numerous citrus events,
were one of the top five in livestock judging, and have the
state-winning tractor! They have won the OH demonstrations and the
parliamentary procedures many times, and they have won fifth place in the
State Star Green Hand. They have had three State Officers, and many students have received their
State FFA Degree.
