FFA Dean Merrell Field Day

CG-FFADeanMerrellFieldDay20220202 (1)

On Wednesday, February 2, the Casa Grande FFA agriculture students from CGUHS attended the South Central Region Dean Merrell Field Day at Central Arizona College. Thirteen of their teams competed in Career Development events in which all but one placed. Several individuals placed in the top three. These contests allow students to explore many career pathways, critically think, perform hands-on practicums, and test their individual knowledge and skill sets in such areas. They all did an outstanding job of carrying out the traditions of success strived for within the Casa Grande FFA. The Arizona FFA state contest is less than four weeks away. One team, in each of these contest areas, will represent the chapter at the AZFFA State Spring Conference. The CGUHS FFA is advised by Casey Farnsworth, CTE Teacher.
