Just a reminder our banquet is Thursday at 5:30. If you participated in FFA through stock shows, community service events, competitions or any other activities we would love for you to come. We appreciate all of your support and hope to see you there!

So proud of our students at the Area 7 Banquet! What a fun day celebrating all the success and hard work from this year. We’re incredibly grateful for all we accomplished and especially proud of Jessica Deleon for receiving her District Officer jacket. A well-deserved honor, and we can’t wait to see all she accomplishes! 💙💛

We’re so proud of our 8th grade students from FFA presenting today at the Morales Ag Science Fair!

Their project focuses on sustainability in agriculture, and they’re showcasing both their presentation and their 3D model of a sustainable farm.

This experience is helping them build valuable public speaking and presentation skills while challenging them to step outside their comfort zones. Opportunities like this give our students the confidence to grow, learn, and represent agricultural education so well.

Way to go, guys — we’re proud of all your hard work! 👏🌱🚜

We are beyond proud to announce that our very own Jessica DeLeon has been selected as the Rebaldina District Officer Duty Reporter for the 2026–2027 year! 🎉

Jessica truly stepped out of her comfort zone, delivered an incredible speech in front of a large audience, and earned this position through hard work and determination. Becoming a district officer is no small accomplishment—it takes dedication, courage, and leadership.

Jessica set her sights on the district level—and she made it happen!

We couldn’t be prouder to have her represent our chapter. We know she will do an outstanding job serving and leading in this role.

Congratulations, Jessica! Your hard work paid off, and we can’t wait to see all you accomplish. 💙💛

Uvalde High School

Yesterday, our teams competed at the Area competition, and we are so proud to share that our Horse Judging team placed 8th out of 27 teams! 🎉 A special congratulations to our senior, Ariana Castro, for earning 15th High Individual!

Our Meat, Vet, and Livestock Judging teams have shown consistent growth and improvement at every contest this season, and they represented us well at Area.

We also want to recognize our Cotton Judging team, who placed 6th at their regional contest just one spot away from state! This group was completely student-led, and they pushed each other to hold a high standard while consistently placing well. We are so proud of y’all!

As we wrap up our CDE season, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of the parents and supporters who make these opportunities possible. It truly takes a village.

And to our members you are the reason Uvalde FFA continues to grow and succeed. Your dedication has made our chapter more active and something others admire. Be proud of everything you’ve accomplished this season! 💙💛

We would like to give a big shoutout to our Wildlife Team! 🦌🌿

Yesterday, they competed at their Regional Contest in San Angelo, which marked our final contest of the year. This was also the first year we added Wildlife to our program, and we couldn’t be more proud of how this team stepped up to the challenge.

Wildlife is one of the more difficult contests, requiring students to know game species, safety laws, management techniques, and identify various animals, pelts, skulls, and more. On top of that, they must also learn extensive plant identification, including brush and range plants across the state.

Our team placed 11th out of 20 teams, and that is something to be proud of—especially considering this is their first time competing in this event. These students took initiative, studied on their own, and truly demonstrated what an FFA program is all about: being student-led and driven.

We are so proud of the effort, dedication, and growth this team has shown. They set a strong foundation for the future of this contest in our program!

Great job, y’all!
