The Evergreen FFA is a chapter with 86 students enrolled in agriculture courses. Once students enroll in an Ag Ed course, they are automatically an FFA member. The Evergreen FFA is a career and technical student organization based through the Evergreen school district. Members have numerous opportunities to participate in CDEs (Career Development Events) and LDEs (Leadership Development Events). The Evergreen FFA chapter has had 23 American degree recipients, 72 state degree recipients, and numerous chapter degrees since the charter of the chapter in 1968.
1) CDE's
FFA members develop responsibility, foster teamwork, and enhance communication skills through participation in Career Development Events (CDEs). Whether they gain public speaking experience, practice their job interview skills, or study the real-life applications of food, animal and plant sciences, members are able to realize the value of ethical competition and achievement.

3) Fundraising
The Evergreen FFA Chapter hosts two popular fundraisers each year to support our agricultural program. Our annual fruit sale offers a variety of fresh, high-quality fruits, perfect for the holiday season. In the spring, we have our strawberry sale. Both fundraisers help our chapter raise essential funds for educational trips, competitions, and classroom instruction. The support from our community directly contributes to the growth and success of our FFA members!
