Recipients must also complete community service and demonstrate outstanding leadership abilities and active civic involvement through a list of FFA and community activities.<\/p>\n<p>Earning the American FFA Degree is a symbol of hard work, growth, and leadership \u2014 representing the best of what FFA members strive to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>We are so proud of EHHS Alumni Gage Medlin and NHHS Alumni Kiley Padgett for the years of commitment and dedication it took to reach this accomplishment!
