Local FFA member appointed

The Florida FFA Association recently selected 25 student members – including one from Escambia County – as the finalist in the highly sought -after “Stars of Florida” program.

Isabelle Jenkins, who attended the IB program of the Pensacola High School and is a member of the Florida Virtual FFA chapter, was the only local student who was appointed as a finalist.

The program symbolizes the highest competitive detection for FFA members and their SAE program (supervised agricultural experience) in seven different categories. Each candidate is interviewed by a team of representatives of the FFA, industrial and agricultural education to determine the winner in every area. Every finalist, his family and agricultural instructors (s), is recognized at the fourth general meeting of the 97th FFA convention by Florida in the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando.
