Two NUHS alumni walked the stage at the 88th National FFA Convention in Louisville, KY to receive their American FFA Degree, the highest degree the FFA offers. Of the over 600,000 FFA members, less than 3% earn the American FFA Degree.
In order to receive the American FFA Degree members must have been enrolled in an agriculture class for at least two full years, been an active FFA member at the local and state level, maintain quality grades throughout their high school experience, completed at least 50 hours of community service and developed an outstanding Supervised Agriculture Experience or SAE with scope, knowledge, and productively invested over $7,500 in that SAE or a combination of hours and money invested.
