The Eureka High FFA club continues to make Humboldt proud on the big stage. Below, please find a report on their recent strong showings at the Career Development Event State Finals in San Luis Obispo a couple of weeks ago.

As always — or at least until he graduates — this report is from official club reporter Michael German:

FFA (Future Farmers of America), is a High School organization that focuses on teaching students about agriculture, as well as preparing them for the workforce. For the last four months, members at Eureka High School’s FFA chapter have spent numerous hours studying and preparing for their CDE (Career Development Event) competitions, all leading up to their State Finals.

On May 3rd, twelve Eureka FFA members traveled to San Luis Obispo to compete in the State Finals for the CDEs. We were lucky enough to have three teams compete, which were Milk Quality and Dairy Foods, Veterinary Science, and Forestry.

After seeing immense success throughout the year, our Milk Quality and Dairy Foods team has been killing it, placing top five high teams at every competition they have participated in, and many of our members placing in the top five high individuals! State Finals had a great turnout for them, with Makela Rabang placing 5th high individual in the whole state.

This was also our first time having a Forestry team in over 10 years, and our team made us so proud, placing 4th high team at State Finals.

The members of all of these teams have put an immense amount of effort and time into studying for their contests throughout the last multiple months, and have all grown exponentially since the beginning of the competition season. We are so proud of you all!
