Eight students from Valentine High School participated in the 97th annual National FFA Convention last week in Indianapolis Indiana. Taylor Battershaw and Austyn Kieborz of the Valentine Chapter were both awarded their American Degree.

As the highest degree achievable in the National FFA Organization, the American FFA Degree shows an FFA member’s dedication to his or her chapter and state FFA association. It demonstrates the effort FFA members apply toward their supervised agricultural experience and the outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement they exhibited through their FFA career.

Congratulations to Taylor and Austyn.
