The FFA Opening and Closing Ceremonies are a cornerstone of FFA tradition, giving students the opportunity to demonstrate their public speaking, teamwork, and leadership skills. Each year, FFA chapters from across the district come together to compete in this event, where students recite ceremonial passages that represent the values and mission of the FFA. The competition is divided into various categories, allowing participants of all experience levels to perform on center stage.
This year’s competition saw outstanding performances with over 600 students participating. Through countless hours of practice, these FFA members honed their delivery to represent their chapters with pride. Congratulations to each chapter for their hard work and dedication. Here are the results:
