Royse City ISD spotlights FFA, bass fishing and bowling teams at board meeting
Summary
Board recognized student achievements: the FFA chapter (more than 700 members) advanced teams to state competitions, the bass fishing team placed top finishes and two teams qualified for angler-of-the-year, and the bowling team won a district championship and sent students to state.
The board spent a substantial portion of the meeting celebrating student accomplishments across extracurricular programs.

He detailed degree recipients, state proficiency awards, team placements and an ag mechanics scholarship that included a $16,000 award and a live-auction sale that raised $6,500 plus add-ons.
