We are grateful for everything our staff does each day to support, inspire, and make a difference. Thank you for all that you do!
The Veterinary Science Team had a strong showing, earning a bronze medal as a team. Individually, Omar Ocana and Haylee Encinias each earned silver medals, with Abby Encinias also contributing as a member of the team. Over the past two years, this group has built an impressive record—winning OPSU twice and earning gold at state last year.
The Livestock Evaluation Team also represented us well, winning the district contest earlier this season. While they did not find the same success at state, we are proud of their accomplishments and dedication.
We are incredibly proud of all of our FFA members for their hard work, commitment, and the way they represent our school and community.
