Each year Ms. Shadix’ Principles of Agriculture students learn the importance of “FFA Official Dress” and the history and traditions behind the iconic blue corduroy jacket in the official FFA colors; National Blue and Corn Gold.
While many things have changed and evolved over the 95 years since the FFA Organization began, the FFA jacket is something that has only ever changed slightly because of its traditional roots and what it represents.
Students are tasked with learning all of the required pieces of official dress and will soon wear these items at various contests, conventions and events!
Gary ISD Production is proud to present their first full musical, 'In The Heights' starting this Thursday at 7PM at the Esquire in Carthage! Come check out this amazing musical from the creator of 'Hamilton' performed by our student actors! The show is free to Gary ISD students and families, but it is slightly over PG with a few swear words, so parents be advised! Since this is a full musical, there will be an open concession stand before the show and during intermission, we can't wait to see everyone!
Each year Gary FFA challenges students in our Principles of Agriculture classes to learn the FFA Creed, and as an incentive to be the first two to learn it completely we purchase the FFA jackets for those students!
