Chilton County High School’s FFA program had its agricultural mechanics team take third place out of 11 teams at the Alabama FFA State Competition on June 3. The team of Harrison Garmany, Jacob Godwin, Isaac Moates and Will Thomas took the bronze medal in the competition. Moates was the third highest scoring individual out of 42 participants.
The Agricultural Mechanics Career Development Event is designed to test students’ competencies for success in the changing workplace of ag mechanics. Students are required to demonstrate general knowledge, problem-solving and applied skills in the competition. The challenge areas included machinery and equipment, electricity, compact equipment, structures and environmental and natural resources.
Also, at the state competition, the CCHS FFA Chapter was awarded the Bronze National Chapter Award. Chapters earn this award by completing yearly activities across three divisions. The tasks are designed to demonstrate a commitment to the FFA’s mission of making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, promoting personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
The Alabama FFA State Competitions were held at Southern Union Community College in Opelika.
