San Marcos High School FFA
What is the National FFA Association?
Because of its multi-faceted structure, FFA
members face a continuing challenge from the
public and news media when asked, "What do
the letters FFA stand for?" or "What is FFA?"
The FFA stands for "Future Farmers of America"
and we are a group of students that are dedicated
to serve and develop quality leadership skills.
The following was developed by the National
FFA Organization and approved in January
2002 by the board of directors. When providing
information to the general public and media in
news releases, brochures, Website postings or
general conversation.
What our Chapter is up to:
Our advisor, Mr. Rob Gaebe, teaches multiple classes that include : Introduction to Agriculture,
Animal Science, Vet Science, Agriculture Biology, Agriculture Business, Landscaping, and Floral Design. For after school, he teaches dedicated students how to raise, care for, and sell pigs, lambs, goats, poultry, steers, plants, and numerous other projects.
