President

​Hey y’all! I'm Abi McDonald serving as your 2019-2020 Franklin County FFA President. I’ve been active in the FFA since my freshman year and have served as an officer since my sophomore year. My favorite memory from FFA is when my Senior Parliamentary Procedure team made it to state. I will be attending the University of Kentucky next fall majoring in Agriculture Education in hopes of becoming an agriculture teacher. #GoCats

VIce-President

Hi! My name is Grace McGaughey and I am a senior this year. For my college plans, I want to go into agriculture, which will lead me to either Eastern Kentucky University or the Universality of Kentucky. FFA has done so much for me over the past few years, it’s opened me up to so many new opportunities. It’s allowed me to do activities I never saw myself doing! The Ag department has done so much for me and I know it will continue to lead me and help me to prepare for the rest of my life! :)

Secretary

​I’m Autumn, our chapter’s Secretary. I have been in FFA for three years, and I participated in Junior Parliamentary Procedure. I come from a farming family, we raised beef cattle in Harrodsburg. I have previously worked at a produce farm and farmers markets. I’m excited to have a leadership position and be a part of the FFA Family.

Treasurer

Hi, my name is Madison Cheek! I am a sophomore this year and will be serving as our chapter Treasurer. I joined FFA my freshman year and have participated in the Junior Parliamentary Procedure and Creed Speaking contests. FFA has opened many doors for me by allowing me to grow, be more confident in my public speaking, and strengthening my leadership skills. Outside of FFA, I show sheep and love working on the farm. I plan on attending Auburn University when I graduate to continue my education in the agriculture industry.
