Mount Dora High School has one of “Florida’s Finest FFA Chapters,” according to an announcement released today by Florida FFA. It was the only Lake County school to make the list of 29 across the state.
The chapters were selected based on their completion of the National Chapter Award program application.
“These chapters have excelled in the areas of growing leaders, building communities and strengthening agriculture and have worked hard to fulfill the mission and vision of the FFA,” the announcement reads.
The chapters will be recognized during the 93rd Florida FFA State Convention & Expo to be held at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando this summer.
