Lawson Board of Education Recognizes Agriculture Education Program and FFA Chapter
The Lawson Board of Education proudly recognized the Lawson Agriculture Education Program and FFA Chapter during the May Board of Education meeting for their outstanding accomplishments throughout the school year. Students were recognized for their success both in the classroom and through their participation in Career Development Events (CDEs) and Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects.
Throughout the school year, students enrolled in the agriculture education program have explored a wide variety of career pathways and opportunities connected to the agriculture industry. Students have achieved tremendous success at the local, district, and state levels in Career Development Events, demonstrating their knowledge, leadership, and technical skills.
During the meeting, students shared their personal experiences and success stories with Board members, highlighting how participation in agricultural education and FFA is helping prepare them for future careers and continued personal growth. Students discussed the many opportunities available through the program, including leadership development, public speaking, career exploration, technical skill development, competitive events, and hands-on learning experiences directly connected to real-world agricultural careers.
Lawson’s Agriculture Education Program is built around the three-circle model of agricultural education, which combines classroom instruction, FFA involvement, and Supervised Agricultural Experience opportunities. Together, these components provide students with meaningful opportunities to develop leadership skills, gain practical experience, and explore the many career fields connected to the agriculture industry.
The district is proud of the continued growth and success of the Agriculture Education Program and FFA Chapter, and is excited about the expanded opportunities available to students. These Real World Learning experiences are equipping students with skills and experiences that will benefit them long beyond their time in the Lawson School District and preparing them for future success in college, careers, and their communities.
