The last week of February, our Chapter President, Karsyn Hammer, attended the Sacramento Leadership Experience (SLE). Only 75 seniors across the state are selected to attend this week long conference. Students step into the role of one of California's State Legislators to learn about the role of government, agricultural policy and advocacy. They are tasked with 20 bills to debate and work the enactment system. This is the most prestigious conference an FFA member can attend and we are so proud of her ambition to attend this conference!

2025 Homecoming

The overall EHS theme was "EHS Travels The World," and our chapter chose the Wild West. We decorated our trailer with a salon, had horses and mules walk alongside our trailer, and had students in amazing cowboy and cowgirl costumes!

Our float placed second in the club float categories!! Thank you to all the students and parents who helped decorate our float and made it turn out amazing!

For 6 weeks out the summer, National FFA puts on a leadership conference in Washington D.C.
