The Indian Lake High School/Ohio Hi-Point FFA Chapter celebrated active members, strong leadership and several state awards during their recent 2024 Banquet.
Before the awards, more than 200 FFA members, parents and others supporters from the local agricultural community gathered in the auxiliary gym for a meal together.
Then the ILHS/OHP FFA officers officially opened the meeting in the auditorium by recognizing several individuals and groups from the community that have helped them through the year by serving as members of the advisory board, assisting in their education or helping with fundraisers.
A variety of awards were presented throughout the evening. Dozens of first-year FFA members earned their Greenhand Degrees. Many older students earned Chapter Degrees. Several students were recognized for excelling in state ag contests and on judging teams. A total of six members were applauded for earning their FFA State Degrees.
New Ag educator and FFA Advisor Mrs. Kelsey King handed out special awards naming Outstanding Students in each grade level.
She said he is especially fond on her first group of students ever!
In a surprise presentation, senior students and officers thanked Mrs. King for taking over the program and working with them for a very successful year.
At the conclusion of the banquet, the current team of officers announced newly elected leaders for the 2023-24 school year.
