CCHA FFA Students Attend FFA National Convention in Indianapolis
Calloway County High School's Future Farmers of America recently attended the 97th Annual FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana with the 70,000 other FFA members from across the nation.
Senior Elizabeth Lanier represented the state of Kentucky in the Prepared Public Speaking Leadership Development Event and received a Silver Rating. This contest has been occurring for 94 years, and only 1 in 22,000 members even qualify for the Prepared Public Speaking Contest each year.
CCHS graduates Emma Arnett, Luke Hale, Lillie Thorn, and Westin Tolley received their American FFA Degree, the highest degree the organization can bestow upon a member. Less than 2% of members receive this honor.
The Chapter officers: Jacee McKeel, Cooper Housden, Ellie Falwell, Jayden Phillips, Addison Pervine, and Fulton Manning attended sessions, toured Purdue University’s College of Agriculture, heard from Dr. Temple Grandin, and toured the Convention Expo to meet leaders in the agriculture industry.
