DALLAS – The 95th annual Texas FFA Convention hosted Weimar FFA and hundreds of other schools as they recognized different state awards for the teams present. Weimar received plenty of recognition themselves with several of their members taking the highest honor the Texas FFA Association can bestow. They also had a few of their competitive teams receive some recognition for their performance as well in state competitions, receiving trophies and certificates to mark their achievements in their respective categories.
Fourteen different members were awarded the Lone Star FFA Degree at the convention. The Lone Star Degree is the highest degree that FFA members can earn during their time. To qualify, members must be active for two years and complete at least four semesters of agricultural science.

Weimar’s FFA students displayed each of these values with several recipients of the award.
