South Newton FFA
South Newton FFA was established in 1967, and focuses on developing its members into incredible leaders. Through the years, South Newton has accumulated eight State Officers. Their jackets as well as their officer pictures are proudly displayed in our Agriculture Department for all members to see. By displaying these individuals, we hope that it inspires members to become better leaders. Our chapter is blessed to have two amazing advisors who encourage our members to become involved in many different CDEs, LDEs, and other activities. Just like the National FFA Organization, South Newton FFA hopes that we make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
