The Opening and Closing Ceremony teams perform well for Escalon FFA

On September 25, Escalon FFA students competed in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies competition in Stockton, California. The students really enjoyed competing against other high schools at the section level. Our students practiced very hard and were well prepared for the competition. Students were able to use their speaking skills along with their team building skills to achieve great things.

As Escalon FFA, we did our best as always and it showed. Congratulations to the teams for their commitment and passion. We hope to not only continue this success in the 2024-2025 school year, but to continue it for many years to come. We would like to announce the following students who gave their best to present themselves in front of others and demonstrate their skills. Congratulations to everyone!
