National FFA Association
Haines City Chapter

Sponsors:  Paul Reed and Keitha Hall

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.
