Brownwood FFA members recently attended the 94th annual Texas FFA State Convention. Students from all over Texas descended upon legendary Fort Worth to gain leadership skills, celebrate accomplishments, and continue striving for excellence in competition.
“Students attended the general sessions and served as voting delegates where they voted on the new 2022-2023 Texas FFA State Officer team,” stated Chelsea Wilson, BHS FFA Advisor and Ag Science Teacher. “They also enjoyed a Mike Ryan concert, voted on Talent Teams, and had a fun team building night at the Texas Rangers game.”
Alexis Berndt and Jensyn Evans received their Lone Star FFA Degree which is the highest degree bestowed at the state level.
Rylah Morgan was recognized for receiving the $20,000 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarship.
In addition, Brownwood students participated in the state-wide community service project called “Stock the Backpack”, where the students filled 17 backpacks with school supplies for kids in need.
The Texas FFA Convention recorded a record high attendance of over 15,000 members and guests making it the largest state convention in the nation.
