Each year, the National FFA Organization is proud to honor the FFA members who show the utmost dedication to the organization through their desire to develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. That honor, the American FFA Degree, is bestowed upon a select group of individuals for years of academic and professional excellence.
Grant Beckman, Justine Meis, and Caleb Pelster; FFA members representing the Elgin FFA Chapter, have been selected to join that exclusive list and will be awarded the American FFA Degree at the 86th National FFA Convention & Expo in Louisville. The convention is known as the largest student gathering in the United States and will occur Oct. 30 – Nov. 2, 2013.
