Congratulations to Waxahachie FFA Alum Jessica Schoolfield and Kaycen Card!

Congratulations to all three of our Donald Patman Memorial Scholarship recipients, Karlee Fuller, Jessica Schoolfield and Kaycen Card.

This scholarship was created to honor the life and legacy of Donald Patman. He served Ellis County Farm Bureau in many roles, including secretary-treasurer, membership chairman, cotton commodity chairman and wheat commodity chairman.
Donald grew cotton, corn, wheat and soybeans and raised cattle in partnership with his son, Steve, who continues to serve on our board today.

Donald served as Texas Farm Bureau president from 2000-2002, as vice president from 1996-2000 and as District 4 state director from 1994-2000.

We are proud to have these three young women represent Ellis County Farm Bureau and carry on the agricultural legacy of Donald Patman.

💙💛Congratulations to Mr. Mike Morgan on being selected as the namesake for the new agriscience facility that will be constructed at the new Waxahachie Creek High School next year!

Mr. Morgan dedicated 29 years as an agricultural science teacher at Waxahachie High School, followed by another 6 years serving as an administrator, before retiring from WISD. Throughout his career, he made an incredible impact on countless students, families, and our agricultural education program.

Even in retirement, Mr. Morgan continues to be an important and influential supporter of Waxahachie FFA, always willing to encourage our students and support the future of agricultural education.

We were honored to join Mr. Morgan and his family Monday night at the WISD Board Meeting as he received this well-deserved recognition.

Having a facility dedicated to agricultural education and named in honor of someone who has given so much to our students and program is truly special. We are grateful for Mr. Morgan’s years of service, leadership, and continued support of Waxahachie FFA.

Congratulations, Mr. Morgan! We are proud to celebrate you and the lasting legacy you have built in Waxahachie! 💙💛

We are so happy to have all of our FFA members back in the classroom!

Today in Mr. Hernandez’s Principles of Agriculture class, they put the FFA 3-Ring Model into action by making slime! Students explored how Classroom/Laboratory Instruction, SAE, and FFA all work together to create a well-rounded agricultural education experience.

Just like slime needs the right combination of ingredients to come together, successful agricultural education needs all three parts of the FFA 3-Ring Model!

It was a fun, hands-on way to see that learning agriculture isn’t just about sitting in a classroom. It’s about learning, doing, leading, and growing.

Students enjoyed fun night last night listening to some very talented student musicians from across the state with the theme “Texas Nights, Neon Lights” As we wrap State Convention today we want to take the opportunity to thank our amazing supporters that helped make convention possible for these students. Now for a little rest as the countdown for the first day of school begins!

💙💛Ten years ago, a proud Waxahachie FFA member took the stage to serve the members of the Texas FFA Association as a Texas FFA State Officer. Today, we proudly celebrate Shannon Tidwell on her 10-year State Officer Reunion at the 98th Annual Texas FFA State Convention in Ft. Worth, TX!

Shannon’s dedication to agriculture, leadership, and service has made a lasting impact on the Waxahachie FFA Chapter, the Texas FFA Association, and countless students across our state. Her passion for developing young leaders didn’t end with her year of service—it continues every day as an Agricultural Science Teacher and FFA Advisor at Vandegrift High School.

Thank you, Shannon, for representing Waxahachie with excellence, for your service to Texas FFA, and for continuing to inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders. Your commitment to growing leaders and strengthening agricultural education is something we’re incredibly proud of.

Congratulations on this special milestone! Once a Waxahachie Indian, always a leader. 💙💛
