FFA is the premier youth organization preparing members for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture. The letters “FFA” stand for Future Farmers of America. These letters are a part of our history and our heritage that will never change. But FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more. For this reason, the name of the organization was updated in 1988 after a vote of national convention delegates to reflect the growing diversity and new opportunities in the industry of agriculture.
Students must be enrolled in an Agriscience course at Central High School. Interested students must fill out membership paperwork available from the Central High School FFA Advisor – Lisa Steinken, 605-394-4023, email: [email protected]
