About Us
Our Chapter
Elk Grove FFA was founded in 1929 with twelve members. In its early years, Elk Grove FFA had a reputation of producing outstanding young farmers who returned to the family farm. In the last thirty years, the program’s emphasis has been on developing students’ leadership skills, community service involvement, personal growth and career success in whatever occupation they choose to pursue. Within the previous 5 years, over 90% of Ag Department graduates have continued onto college.
Within the previous thirty years, Elk Grove FFA has consistently been one of the top 5 chapters in the state of California! This is measured by the academic success of students as well as awards won by students and teachers in the department.
• Total State FFA Degree recipients - 1186
• State Proficiency Awards - 46
• American Farmer Degree recipients - 133
• State Championship CDE Teams- 75
• State Championship LDE Teams-5
• National Championship Teams- 3
Elk Grove FFA is multifaceted with its offerings of the Sustainable Agricultural Green Academy, multiple Agriculture and Career Technical Courses and Pathways, and FFA Three Ring Opportunities.

HERD Pride Pillars
Honor
We show honor in our community by volunteering through community service events like serving at local fundraiser dinners and helping clean up our community garden! We continue to represent our chapter and community with the utmost honor!
Effort
Our students demonstrate effort in the classroom and in the CDE/LDE competition teams they take part in! Many students within our chapter complete an agriculture pathway or are involved in the SAGE Academy! This challenges students academically in topics related to agriculture. Students also compete at multiple competitions throughout the year related to career skills and/or public speaking.
Respect
We respect those who have led the way within our chapter and aspire to always show respect to others in and outside of the jacket! We are so proud of our school, community, support systems, and alumni for always supporting student success and getting involved within our chapter.
Determination
EG FFA is determined to provide quality, hands-on education to students through each course offering and project, such as through our agriscience fair! This year, we had over 170 agriscience projects completed by students across all grade levels.
