Canyon View FFA originally started as the Agua Fria FFA chapter. When the Agua Fria campus was spilt up, the agricultural program was sent to the Agua Fria North campus. Eventually Agua Fria North became Millennium High School, and in June 1999 the Millennium FFA Chapter was established. In August 2018 Millennium FFA was "transferred" to Canyon View. Canyon View FFA was established in 2018 and now has an enrollment of over 275 FFA members.
Students become FFA members by being enrolled in an agricultural education course and as such are exposed to the 3 circles of the total education program. The three circles are: Classroom Instruction, SAEs, and FFA. Each circle relies on the other to focus on the best development of a student and their success.
Classroom:
In classroom instruction students engage in hands on learning and daily labs. There are 4 levels of the program: AG I, AG II, AG III, and AG IV. Each class has dual enrollment certification with Mesa Community College where students can earn 2-4 credits by taking agricultural education. AG I is for freshmen and focuses on introducing FFA, SAEs and basic agricultural topics such as plant and animal science. In AG II, sophomores explore the scientific processes behind the world they live in as well as the interaction of species with their environment. AG III, juniors delve into the world of plant and animal healthy, propagation, breeding and the mechanics of the world we live in. Finally in AG IV, seniors develop a senior capstone, and will learn essentials for post high school survival as they learn about sales, marketing, finances, savings, insurance and the business of agriculture.
SAEs:
Supervised Agricultural Experience- which an agricultural project that a student is responsible for keeping records of. Our classes cover a variety of interests and we are lucky to have wonderful facilities to help encourage hands on learning in the classroom. Currently we have a fully functional barn equipped with 24 stalls for raising: cattle, sheep, swine, chickens, goats, and a large aquaculture tank where we will grow Tilapia. We also have a greenhouse where classes will begin exploring the aspects of plant science, and hydroponics. A fully functional mechanics shop where students will explore the concepts of: wood working, arc/MIG welding, electrical wiring, concrete and more. Finally we will have a state of the art biotechnology lab where we will explore the sciences behind agriculture. SAEs are designed to be created, managed, and maintained by a student and can vary from raising livestock and plants to job shadowing and research. Students maintain financial and time logs on an online website which is managed by the instructor.
FFA:
As an FFA member, student experiences are filled with opportunities from participating in community service events such as Adopt-a Highway and Shelter drives to competitive events called CDEs, Career Development Events. Career Development Events take curriculum taught in class and apply it to practical career settings in a competitive event. CDEs range from parliamentary procedure and prepared public speaking and sales to veterinary technology and horse judging. There are 3 opportunities for students to compete at the variety of CDE's at the state level, where if they win state they can compete on a national level. Students will also have the opportunity to attend conferences, conventions, and even hold a leadership position as a chapter officer. An officers responsibility is to plan the events for members throughout the school year with the guidance of the Advisor, Mrs. Brothers. Students who are enrolled in AG ED are automatically FFA members and their dues are paid for by CTE.
