Five Mayville High School graduates and members of the Mayville FFA Chapter received the American FFA Degree over this past weekend. The American FFA Degree is the highest degree presented by the National FFA Organization.
Members earning the degree include (left to right): Kyleigh Casper, Mason Gerth, Austin Thoreson, Ryan Clark and Kaitlyn Oechsner.
The American Degree is awarded annually in October at the National FFA Convention to members who have demonstrated personal growth and progress through their local agricultural education programs.
To qualify for the award, candidates must meet specific requirements. Members must have previously earned their State FFA Degree, completed at least 540 hours of agricultural classroom instruction, and recorded at least 50 hours of community service. In addition, candidates must maintain a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program where they have earned $2,000 and worked a minimum of 2,250 hours.
Congratulations to these Mayville alumni on this outstanding accomplishment!
