FFA students who went to state pose for a group picture. Two of the teams, dairy cattle and poultry judging qualified for nationals and they took this group picture before leaving.

On May 4-6, FFA went to state and competed in 14 different contests. The significant placements are listed below: Horse judging: 3rd
Floriculture: 2nd
Meats: 4th
Nursery and landscape: 7th
Ag communications: 5th
Ag sales: 3rd
Entomology: 4th
Dairy cattle: 1st
Poultry: 1st
Farm management: 5th

“It’s always a good time getting to see the kids be rewarded for their hard work,” said Alicia Hampton, FFA sponsor. “They’ve been dedicating a lot of their time and energy to preparing for these events, so getting to see them succeed is always awesome.” With mandatory practices for two weeks before the competitions, the FFA students have put in a great amount of work, and it has paid off with their results from the competition.

Hi, I’m Mallory! I’m a Junior and this is my first year in SPUB and video production which means I’m a reporter! I have always had a passion for writing ever since I was young. Talking is something that I struggled with growing up and still struggle with occasionally, but writing has always been an outlet for me to express myself and put my thoughts into words. Journalism is very important to me and so many others because it is a way that we can spread information about things that are important and things we care about. Outside of school I work at the YMCA with kids and I love photography, videography, listening to music, and spending time with the people I love.
