FFA State Degree Recipients

Springville High had great success this year at the Utah State FFA Convention.

For the second consecutive year, one of our very own was selected to serve over 3,000 Utah FFA members; Sierra Henry was chosen to be Utah State FFA Reporter for the 2010-2011 year. This is an elite position; she is very fortunate to have been chosen to serve. 

Springville FFA also received recognition for the following:

Five Star Chapter (only given to about 25% of the chapters); Food for America (teaching children about agriculture); and Superior Chapter (the Superior Chapter Award program is designed to award FFA chapters who actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization).

Twelve students received their State FFA Degree - the highest degree given by the state association for the student’s commitment to the FFA and their agriculturally related project. In addition, one former student, Jed Neilsen, was recognized for his American FFA Degree - the highest degree possible in the FFA Organization (he will again be recognized in October at the National FFA Convention).

Christopher Cook also won a proficiency award (scholarship money) for being the most proficient in Utah with his FFA project in Specialty Animal Production. Chris raises honey bees. He will also compete at the regional level this summer.

Thanks to all for your continued support of our students and the FFA program. A big thank you to Mr. John DeGraffenried, SHS Principal, for helping to rally the gang together this week in Cedar City; we had a successful and fun trip!
