Those who earned the honor at EHS for this year are Isaac Deppen, Parker Finley, Harli Gomes, Olivia Grassman, Grace Hullquist, Luke Jenner, Grace O Brien, Halayah Sherman, Mae Thackeray, Cobi Walker, Emma Watton.
Kellie and Jake Hargett run the FFA program at EHS.
Kellie Hargett said she is proud of the students, some of whom started their own business or worked at local businesses to help achieve their goal of earning $1,000. These students also helped teach elementary school students and other community service, Kellie said.
