Central School FFA Chapter

State convention 2026! What a week! Our students spent the last 5 days in Orlando going to leadership classes and general sessions with over 5000 other FFA members from across the state. We got to watch two of our own Mason Thomas and Emma Posey accept their State Degrees in Thursday mornings general session. And ended watching our Middle school Land evaluation team get recognised for their Third place finish in the land evaluation competition. Along with our Middle school President Sydney Vinson receiving her award for being the individual high scorer for the entire state in the land evaluation competition! Now for some summer rest, In a blink of an eye we will be starting it all over again!

A special thanks goes out to our chaperones for this trip and all of the people that supported us this year through fundraising and donations to make all we do possible!

We are so proud to have our very own Sydney Vinson chosen for career Academy middle school student of the year for Santa Rosa County!! Help us in congratulating her on this accomplishment!
