CLEMSON, SC…The Midland Valley High School FFA Chapter took top honors in the State FFA Chapter Recognition Program announced during the recent state conference of the SC FFA Association at Clemson University.
In addition to being selected one of nine Gold Emblem Chapter Award recipients from throughout South Carolina, the group was also named state champions in the Student Development Category of Outstanding Chapters and presented the Governor’s Citation of Accomplishment by Larry Rogers, an official with the USDA Farm Service Agency who sponsors the state and national FFA Chapter Recognition Program.
