Earlier this week, the Rome Middle and Rome High FFA Chapters came together to celebrate an incredible 2025–2026 school year at our annual banquet. We are proud to recognize the dedication, growth, and achievements of our members, officers, and supporters who make our program so strong.
A special thank you to the Georgia Farm Bureau for awarding both chapters a grant to continue expanding opportunities in agricultural education.
Throughout the evening, members were recognized for their participation in CDEs, LDEs, and outstanding community service efforts. We also proudly celebrated several students for their SAE accomplishments at the regional level:
