The Page High FFA Program was honored as a National 3-Star Chapter, placing them in the top 1 percent of all chapters across the country. The Page High FFA Officer team, which includes Mia Clement, Kenzie Anderson, Paili Doyle, Selah Castro, Gavon Veach, Brylie Noland, Sophia Bibeau and Andersen Rightmyer, attended the Tennessee Breakfast.
“The National FFA Convention offers numerous fantastic career development and learning opportunities for our students,” said Page High teacher Shana Boteler. “The students participated in a behind-the-scenes tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s golf course, where they learned about property management and even had the chance to design a putting hole.”
