Board approves Pacific High School FFA chapter, citing student projects and fundraising plans
Summary
The Port Orford-Langlois School Board unanimously approved a Pacific High School FFA chapter on Nov. 17, 2025; the chapter plans include raising pigs, a pig raffle and greenhouse plant sales and is expected to open eligibility for grants and scholarships.
The Port Orford-Langlois School Board voted unanimously on Nov. 17, 2025 to approve an application to form a Pacific High School Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter. The application, presented by teacher Wendy Tomko, listed planned student projects including raising pigs, a pig raffle and greenhouse plant sales.
Tomko told the board the chapter would expand access to grant and scholarship opportunities available through FFA and provide hands-on agricultural and leadership experience for students. Bob Brown moved and Judy Miles seconded the motion to approve the chapter; the motion passed with all five board members voting in favor.
The approval will allow Pacific High School students to pursue competitive and fundraising activities under the FFA umbrella, and the district will follow applicable program and safety guidelines in student agricultural projects. The minutes do not specify timelines or budget amounts for start-up costs; those details will be addressed in subsequent staff planning and implementation steps.
