FFA History

The National FFA Organization has a rich history rooted in agricultural education and leadership. Founded in 1928, FFA has grown into one of the largest student-led organizations in the world, preparing generations of young people for careers in agriculture, science, education, and leadership. Over the decades, FFA has empowered students to develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success.

Enloe FFA History

The Enloe Magnet High School FFA Chapter is one of the newest additions to this proud tradition. Founded in 2023, Enloe FFA was created to provide students with opportunities to explore agriculture in a hands-on, meaningful way—both in the classroom and beyond.

Although our chapter is still young, we have already come a long way. From introducing animal science courses and building a classroom animal program, to hosting leadership events and beginning to establish our officer team, Enloe FFA is laying the foundation for a strong and lasting legacy.

We are still expanding and rebuilding, but every step forward is shaping a chapter that will continue to grow for years to come. Our vision is to create a welcoming and inclusive space where all students can find their place, develop leadership skills, and connect to agriculture in ways that matter to them.

History

William G. Enloe High School opened in 1962. Named in honor of the Mayor of Raleigh at the time, Enloe answered the need for a secondary educational institution for all students living in the vicinity of the Longview Gardens Community. It opened as Raleigh's first integrated high school. Enloe initially housed students from grades seven through eleven. The Class of 1963 was the first graduating class.

In 1965, Aycock Junior High School opened on an adjacent campus. Students in grades seven through nine were assigned to the junior high school, and William G. Enloe became the senior high school, serving students in grades ten through twelve.

During the spring of 1979, Aycock Junior High School was merged with Enloe High School to form a 9-12 high school. Aycock's building was designated as Enloe East, and the Enloe building was designated as Enloe West. In the 1980-81 school year, a magnet component designed to provide specialized courses for gifted and talented students was added to the academic program at Enloe. Approximately 300 students participated in the magnet program each of the first two years of its existence.

Enloe students enjoy the school's diversity reflected in the curriculum and in the student population. If Enloe could be summed up in one word, it would be excellence. We offer students the opportunity to explore and grow to their full potential. Whether it be through academics, sports, or the arts, Enloe provides students the opportunity to perform, to learn, to grow, and to dream.
