About Us
The Newell-Fonda FFA started on November 4, 1951 to promote leadership, grow personally and academically, and to engage in career success while enrolled in agricultural education. Since then, we have grown and developed our traditions - like our Annual Appreciation Lunch and Ag Olympics.

Through seventy-two years and a school merger we have changed the face of our chapter and we have stayed focused on our foundational principles. We continue to strive for exceptional student and community involvement while cultivating the agricultural leaders of tomorrow.
