The Woodbury FFA Chapter, is a local chapter in Connecticut, and belongs to the National FFA Organization, the largest youth organization in the U.S.
The Ellis Clark Regional Agriscience and Technology Center located at Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury, Connecticut is one of the largest and most successful in the country with over 325 students from 23 different towns. Started by Ellis Clark, the first Vo-Ag teacher at Woodbury High School in 1920, this program was originally a farming school for boys, with no FFA connection for 8 years; hence the National FFA was formed in 1928. The program remained at Woodbury High School until 1970 at which point a new High School and Agriscience Building was constructed in Woodbury. The High School and agriculture facilities were both designed to accommodate students from Region 14 School District (Woodbury and Bethlehem). Currently, selected students from 23 towns attend Nonnewaug High School for the Agriscience Program. The continued success of the program has caused enrolment numbers to increase steadily over the years forcing a major renovation and expansion completed in 1999.
The following Connecticut Towns allow students to attend Nonnewaug High School for the Agriscience Program - Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Bethany, Bethel, Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Danbury, Derby, Middlebury, Naugatuck, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown, Oxford, Prospect, Roxbury, Seymour, Sherman, Southbury, Washington, Watertown, and Woodbury.
