STATE CHAMPIONS! Huge congratulations to our Floriculture team for placing 1st at State and advancing on to Nationals in the fall. Lillie, Jacob, Thomas, and Destiny are excited about the opportunities in store for them this fall. The Nursery, Poultry, Soils, and Forestry teams also found success, and we were recognized as one of the top chapters in the state of Missouri through the National Chapter Award Application. Poultry was 20th, Soils was 15th, and Nursery was 12th!! Great job! This is an elite group of students and they were nothing less than stellar this season.
