SHS FFA Chapter receives National Award

The National Future Farmers of America or FFA Organization recently selected the Seneca High School FFA Chapter from a pool of more than 600 candidates nationwide as a two-star winner in the National FFA Chapter Award program. The chapter members have been invited to attend the 86th National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, Oct. 30 through Nov. 2, where they will be recognized for this honor. The award program is sponsored by Toyota and Land O’Lakes Foundation as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The National FFA Chapter Award program recognizes FFA chapters for developing and conducting a detailed Program of Activities.  These activities provide opportunities for members to excel in one of three areas: student, chapter, or community development. Each year, chapters are recognized as having earned a one-, two- or three-star rating on their application. The three-star rating is the highest level of accomplishment a chapter may achieve. FFA is a national youth organization of 490,017 student members preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture with 7,210 local chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
