Hidden Valley FFA students showcase growth, regional awards and March 14 auction
Summary
Hidden Valley High FFA chapter reported program growth (64 students participating this year), state‑level degree awards for multiple students, facility upgrades for livestock care, and plans for a March 14 FFA auction to raise funds for student programs and travel.
Members of the Hidden Valley FFA chapter presented to the board about their activities and program growth. Students detailed competitive results (district and regional placements), leadership roles and hands‑on learning that includes welding and shop projects supporting the school and community.
Student presenters said 64 students have already participated in at least one FFA event this year, two students have earned Oregon State FFA degrees and another student has applied for the American FFA degree, a rare honor. Program leaders described investments in the barn (new stalls, updated electrical system, swamp cooler) and added equipment (fitting chutes, shears) to improve animal care and student participation.
The chapter announced its annual FFA auction on March 14, with doors at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m.; funds will directly support student travel, facility improvements and hands‑on learning materials. Students and principals outlined other spring activities, including state convention attendance and an April 30 banquet. Board members and community attendees praised the program’s role in building skills and keeping students engaged with school.
No formal board action was taken; the presentation was part of the board’s regular updates and public comment segment.
