The Woodlan FFA Chapter had 11 members awarded Indiana FFA’s highest degree that can be bestowed upon an FFA member; the Hoosier Degree. The FFA members were awarded their Hoosier Degree during the 87th State FFA Convention held on the campus of Purdue University. The Hoosier Degree is based on a student’s supervised agriculture experience program, school and community involvement, FFA involvement and hours of community service hours. These members will now be eligible for a $1,000 scholarship through the Woodlan FFA Chapter for their accomplishments. This is the first time since 1979, and the second most in the Woodlan FFA history books that this significant amount of members were awarded with their Hoosier Degree. Seven parents were also in attendance at the Hoosier Degree ceremony to support members being awarded this prestigious honor.
