The FFA Motto

Learning to do. Doing to learn. Learning to live. Living to serve.

The Agriculture Program at SHHS started back up at SHHS in 2000 and has built a tremendous membership of approximately 290 students per year, over 50% of the high school student body. Students enrolled in Agriculture Education classes have the opportunity to get involved in the St. Helena Chapter of the FFA Organization, which is the largest youth leadership organization in the US!
