Floral Design is a new class taught this year by Mrs. Shadix in the Agricultural Pathway. The course has included a variety of practical and life lessons taught like: Homecoming Mums, Holiday Flower Themes, Special Occasion Themes, Wedding Flowers and more! To conclude the year, students are tested on their floral knowledge, processing flowers and flower identification to become Level 1 Floral Certified, a certification that never expires!! This test is 100 questions and they are only given 60 minutes to complete it. We have had NINE students take and successfully PASS the Texas State Floral Association Exam and become certified! Emma Newman Nicole Castillo Blair Cope Kaydence Hammers Abigail Johnson Bailee Lilly Gracie Spence Alyssa Thompson Robin Moran These certifications look amazing on scholarship and college applications and allow our students to have employment opportunities while in high school and beyond!

At each level of the FFA there are officers that represent and lead the members. The levels are: Chapter (Gary FFA is our chapter name), District (we are in the Longview District with 23 other schools), Area (we are in the Area 6 Association with over 100 other schools), and State (Texas which has over 1,000 FFA Chapters). The process to become an FFA Officer at ALL levels is rigorous. Students are expected to take an exam over endless FFA facts and history, participate in an interview with school administrators and Ag Teachers, and must write a speech and present that speech to their peers for a “popular vote.” While this process isn’t easy, we are proud to say that students learn these skills in our classes and through their participation in FFA events, which does make it “easier” for them to complete! We are teaching them how to be leaders! This year, five Gary FFA members applied to be Gary FFA Chapter Officers for the 2023-2024 school year. Yesterday they completed the three components of the process and will find out on Tuesday, May 9th at the Yearly FFA Banquet what positions they will be awarded. We are proud of them for their courage and leadership!

We have four Gary FFA Members who have competed in the Region 5 High School Rodeo each weekend across the State of Texas this school year. Each weekend these students "gain points" towards a final total that they hope will advance them to the High School Rodeo finals in Abilene in June. We would like to congratulate: Emorie Comer- who has ADVANCED to the Rodeo Finals this summer and Eli Comer, MaCade Reaves and Braley Weems who all were just points away from advancing in one of the HARDEST Regions in the state of Texas. When you get involved with THSRA, you are supporting family values, dedicated young people and scholarships. THSRA sponsors over 125 rodeos per year throughout ten regions across Texas. The rodeo year begins in August and concludes with the Texas High School Finals Rodeo in June. It is here, at the largest rodeo in the state of Texas, where “The Elite Compete” features the top cowboys and cowgirls from each Region. They compete for numerous awards, scholarships as well as the coveted honor of representing the State of Texas at the National High School Finals Rodeo held each July. THSRA began in Hallettsville, TX in 1946. The idea behind the first High School Rodeo was to encourage rural-oriented youth to stay in school and complete their studies. Students must maintain certain academic standards throughout the school year in order to be eligible to compete. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!
