Sacramento Leadership Experience

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!

2024 Homecoming

The overall EHS theme was "EHS Gets Animated" and our chapter chose the Back at the Barnyard movie. We decorated our trailer with an old tractor, had ponies, mules and horses walk along side our trailer, and had students in amazing farm animal costumes!

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

Washington Leadership Conference

For 6 weeks out the summer, National FFA puts on a leadership conference in Washington D.C. In June of 2024, Karsyn Hammer traveled solo to attend Week 2 of the Washington Leadership Conference (WLC). At this conference, she learned the importance of making a difference in your community with what you have.
