Pendleton FFA Chapter

Making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for Premier Leadership, Personal Growth, and Career Success.

FFA is a dynamic youth organization that is a part of agricultural education programs at middle and high schools. Founded as the Future Farmers of America, the name was changed in 1988 to reflect the growing diversity of agriculture. Today, student members are engaged in a wide range of curriculum and FFA activities, leading to over 300 career opportunities in agriculture. The mission of the FFA is to make a positive diffrence in the lives of students by developing their potential for Premier Leadership, Personal Growth, and Career Success through Agricultural Education

The Pendleton FFA Chapter has set a State Record in CDE's won in the past 3 years. These include:
Poultry Evaluation (3 years in a row), Floriculture (3 years in a row), Agronomy, Soil Evaluation, Wildlife, Horticulture, Prepared Public Speaking (2 years), Extemporanious Speaking, Upper and Lower Creed Speaking, and Livestock Evaluation
All of our teams have continued on to compete at a National Level and many have ranked as Golden Emblem teams.
Along with our accomplishments the Pendleton FFA takes time to give back by participating in communitty service. Along with our service we hold multiple community work shops through out the year such as: Making wreaths, jelly, and color bowls.
Our chapter holds many fundraisers through out the years such as Valentines day bouquets, a Low Country Boil and a Trail Ride. We also hold an annual Farm City Day in which our members prepare lessons to teach to 4th graders about agriculture.
Agriculture is no longer just for Farmers! Ag Ed should be important to ever American Students because ag classes are unlike any other. Students will recieve the oppertunity to connect key standards and concepts with real life applications. We aim to give students an enjoyable learning experiance that they will last them a life time!
