Northview And Tate FFA Programs Named Among Florida’s Finest
April 26, 2017
The Northview High School FFA and the Tate High School FFA have both been named as one of Florida’s Finest FFA chapters, and Northview’s “Fresh From Florida” program has been named finalist in the 2017 Agriculture Advocacy Awards.
The selection of Florida’s Finest FFA Chapters is based upon the completion of the National Chapter Award program application. These chapters have excelled in the areas of student, chapter and community development and have worked hard to fulfill the mission of the FFA.
Northview’s “Fresh From Florida” program, which introduced hundreds of elementary school students to agriculture during an on-campus event, is one of five finalists for the best program in the state.
The Northview FFA has been recognized as one of the best in the nation for three consecutive years, and their “Fresh From Florida” program has been honored as among the best in Florida for multiple years.
One member and one advisor from each chapter will be recognized on the main stage during the 89th Florida FFA Convention June 14 in Orlando. In addition, both chapters will represent Florida at the national level in the National Chapter Award Program in Indianapolis.

Congratulations to administrators, teachers, and students of Tate and Northview FFA programs. You are representing Escambia County with distinction. Thank you!
WAY TO GO NORTHVIEW AND TATE FFA..NOT ONLY ARE THEY DESERVING OF THIS RECOGNITION..SOME OF THESE SAME STUDENTS HAVE DONE MUCH NEEDED VOLUNTEER WORK FOR BARRINEAU PARK COMMUNITY CENTER AND WALNUT HILL RUITANS…THEY PROVE THAT OUR YOUNGER GENERATION CAN AND WILL SUCCEED IN LIFE..ALSO AGREE WITH THE COMMENT ABOUT THE DEDICATION OF THEIR TEACHERS!!
People do not realize the service that the Ag Teacher provide to the Students. Many of the Ag Teachers will travel over 25 days a year with students and work 60+ hours a week. These FFA Chapters are rated as the top 10% in the State of Florida.
