THE JACKSON County
Comprehensive High School
FFA chapter celebrated
National FFA Week on Feb.
20-27 with this year’s theme,
“Lead Out Loud,” for mem
bers to show off what makes
them premier leaders in their
schools and communities.
At JCCHS, National FFA
Week featured a number
of special events and dress
up. The events included an
alumni recognition dinner
and writing letters to U.S.
soldiers stationed overseas.
“Jackson County FFA
members are the leaders of
tomorrow and dedicated to
community service activi
ties like our letter writing
campaign joining with the
Georgia FFA Association,”
leaders stated. “Whether it’s
working with elementary
children or serving as a chap
ter officer, FFA members
make a positive difference
on those around them. They
are success-oriented students
who are driven to achieve
their goals. FFA builds lead
ers and leaders impact the
future.”
FFA members have oppor
tunities to attend national
leadership conferences, start
their own businesses, and
apply for awards and schol
arships. Through classroom
instruction and hands-on
learning, agricultural edu
cation and FFA are making
a positive difference in the
lives of students.
FFA members are future
engineers, scientists, teachers
and producers. One of every
five Americans is employed
in the food, fiber and natu
ral resources industries, and
FFA members are preparing
for one of those 300 careers
in agriculture.
The focus of National FFA
Week is to tell the commu
nity and the country about
the opportunities available
through FFA.
From its beginnings in
1928 as the Future Farmers
of America, the National FFA
Organization today reaches
out to all 50 states, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands.
FFA is committed to devel
oping character and leader
ship skills, as well as prepar
ing members for a lifetime of
civic leadership and career
success.
National FFA Week is
sponsored by Tractor Supply
Company and Carhartt as a
special project of the National
FFA Foundation.
