Local Students, Schools Place In FFA Competition

December 8, 2011

Eleven middle and high school FFA chapters from Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa counties took part in the  Sub-District I FFA Competition this week in Jay.

To take part in the Career Development Events (CDE), students spend many hours training for the competition and receive assistance from their advisor, industry partners, alumni and community stakeholders.

“The key to achievement lies in the ability to think critically, communicate clearly, and perform effectively in a competitive world. These skills are enhanced through participation in CDEs,” according to the Escambia County FFA.
