The National FFA Chapter Awards Program is co-sponsored by the Ford Motor Company and John Deere as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The program recognizes outstanding FFA chapters that implement a Program of Activities designed to provide members an opportunity to excel in student, chapter or community development experiences.
Meghan M. Wood, Agricultural Education instructor at Aiken High School, and Jeremy Brooks, Agricultural Education instructor at Midland Valley High School, serve as their FFA chapter advisors.
The mission of the FFA is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through Agricultural Education.
