• We are incredibly proud to recognize our Ag Science students who were honored at the State FFA Convention for their winning projects.

  
  

  These students have dedicated countless hours to their research, preparation, and growth, and it truly paid off. Their hard work, determination, and passion for agriculture have not only earned them top honors, but also allowed them to represent our chapter with excellence at the state level.
