Established in 1973, South Doyle FFA Chapter has a long tradition of community service, classroom excellence, and winning spirit. Students who enroll in Agriculture Education classes here at South Doyle will be expected to become members of the National FFA Organization. Students pay a $12 membership fee each year to be a member of the FFA.
Membership in the FFA is a critical part of Agriculture Education and the 3 circle model. FFA membership allows students to put the knowledge they develop in the classroom and laboratory settings into real life applications.
FFA and Agriculture Education help students learn to work together, develop leadership abilities, build character, promote citizenship, and encourage excellence in scholarship.
