We are proud to announce that McKenzie and William have earned their State FFA Degree and will walk across the stage at the 100th Oklahoma FFA Association Convention on May 6th during the final general session to receive this incredible honor! 🌾💙
The State Degree is the highest honor awarded by the Oklahoma FFA Association, and only the most outstanding senior FFA members earn this distinction each year. This recognition reflects years of dedication, leadership, and commitment to agricultural education.
To qualify, candidates must meet rigorous requirements that showcase their work ethic and involvement in FFA. This includes maintaining a detailed record book documenting finances, activities, and community service hours, as well as creating a comprehensive scrapbook or portfolio highlighting their FFA journey. These materials are evaluated by agricultural educators and state staff at both the regional and state levels.
McKenzie and William, your hard work, perseverance, and passion have truly paid off. We are incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to see you recognized on stage!

🚀✈️ Exciting opportunities were on full display in our Aviation and Aeronautics classes!
Students recently had the incredible experience of welcoming representatives from the US Space Force into the classroom. They shared insights on career paths, training programs, and the cutting-edge technologies that drive today’s aerospace and space exploration missions.
Our students got to ask questions, explore real-world applications of their studies, and learn how their passion for aviation and aeronautics could lead to careers in the rapidly evolving space industry. Experiences like this inspire our students to aim high — maybe even beyond the stars! 🌌✨
The future of flight and space exploration is bright, and our students are ready to soar!

A day of service and fun for our Student Council!
Our Student Council members joined other student councils from across the state at the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to give back in a big way. Together, they packed 908 boxes of food, totaling 18,160 pounds — providing an incredible 15,133 meals for Oklahoma families in need.
After their hard work, students were rewarded with a night of basketball at a Oklahoma City Thunder game — and even had the opportunity to go down on the court!
We are so proud of these students for representing our school through leadership, service, and community impact.
