WEST HOLMES, Ohio-The West Holmes vocational agriculture program achieved a record-breaking year with 16 students earning state degrees at the Ohio Future Farmers of America Convention.
This success is attributed to the dedication and hard work of the students, who engage in Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs) from freshman year, involving jobs or animal raising, with a $3,000 investment requirement. Students must also meet various criteria including record-keeping, community service, GPA, attendance, and participation in activities. The program emphasizes setting students up for success, resulting in a high number of state degree recipients among graduating seniors and juniors.
