Summary
The Harrison County Board of Education proclaimed Feb. 21–28 as National FFA Week and recognized South Harrison High School swim and volleyball teams for recent achievements; FFA teachers highlighted the breadth of agricultural career pathways.
The Harrison County Board of Education read a proclamation declaring Feb. 21–28 as National FFA Week and presented certificates to FFA chapters and teachers.
An FFA teacher told the board the organization now prepares students for a wide range of careers — foresters, veterinarians, food scientists, plant scientists, geneticists and agricultural teachers — and called the week ‘‘one of my favorite weeks of the year,’’ praising the organization’s evolution and local chapters’ work with students.
The board also recognized the South Harrison High School girls swim team for winning the county championship and the volleyball program for recent sectional and regional success. The board named players and coaches during the recognition, and coaches thanked the board and community for support.
Board members encouraged students and coaches and invited the community to celebrate their accomplishments. The recognitions were ceremonial; no board action beyond presentation of certificates was required.
