FFA Chapter

The National FFA Organization, or FFA, is a nonprofit organization that helps students develop leadership and career skills through agricultural education. The name stands for Future Farmers of America, but the organization's mission has expanded to include students interested in a variety of careers related to agriculture.

FFA Meetings 
Open to all students in Life Science shops (Biotech, Envs, Horticulture, and Vet Science) and all Freshmen. FFA Meetings are held on Mondays each month from 2:30-3:30 in the Horticulture shop. Check the FFA bulletin board in the hall between Horticulture and Environmental Science for the next meeting date.
