This year we have had “many firsts” for Gary FFA, including the largest number of students participating in events. With that has come great success and a huge increase in the variety of events students have shown interest in!
Our Forages Career Development Event team ADVANCED TO THE STATE CONTEST and traveled to Sam Houston State University on Friday, April 26th to compete.
What is Forages?
Students apply their knowledge of various forage species to evaluate hay based on physical properties, identify species common to pastures and complete quiz that tests team members’ knowledge of different aspects of forages. Teams consist of 3 or 4 members.
Gary FFA ranked 58th out of 84 teams! We are proud of these students for learning something new and working so hard! It is really cool to mention that this team consists of 1 Sophomore and 4 Freshmen!!

Elementary students are getting ready for their Art class Glow Party with glow art!
While participating in events as members of Gary FFA, students are able to learn many valuable life skills through their experiences. It isn’t “just” about animals and trees! Students get to travel the state, create bonds and relationships which turn into connections they have their entire lives, and get to experience many different areas of agriculture while doing the variety of contests.
This letter was sent to our Horse Judging team, inviting them to pursue a collegiate career judging horses at Texas A&M Commerce University. This offer was based on their performance and scores at the Area Horse Judging Contest! WHAT AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT! Our team, made up of one senior and three sophomores have COLLEGES inviting them to attend based on their skill set!
We are proud of you!
