Woodbury FFA Chapter

The Woodbury FFA Chapter, is a local chapter in Connecticut, and belongs to the National FFA Organization, the largest youth organization in the U.S.

The Ellis Clark Regional Agriscience and Technology Center located at Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury, Connecticut is one of the largest and most successful in the country with over 325 students from 14 different towns. Started by Ellis Clark, the first Vo-Ag teacher at Woodbury High School in 1920, this program was originally a farming school for boys, with no FFA connection for 8 years; hence

the National FFA was formed in 1928. The program remained at Woodbury High School until 1970 at which point a new High School and Agriscience Building was constructed in Woodbury. The High School and agriculture facilities were both designed to accommodate students from Region 14 School District (Woodbury and Bethlehem). Currently, selected students from 14 towns attend Nonnewaug High School for the Agriscience Program. The continued success of the program has caused enrollment numbers to increase steadily over the years forcing a major renovation and expansion completed in 1999. The following Connecticut Towns allow students to attend Nonnewaug High School for the Agriscience Program - Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Bethany, Bethel, Bethlehem, Middlebury, Naugatuck, Oxford, Prospect, Seymour, Southbury, Watertown, Woodbridge, and Woodbury. This page is used to communicate our story and happenings, to many audiences, including fellow members, other chapters, community members, and anyone interested in Agriculture and Youth Leadership.

Unfortunately Mother Nature won this time…

Despite the improved forecast for tomorrow, the track and parking area are too wet to host a pull due to the rains from the past week.

We hope you will come out to the pull in 2027!
