Monroe County was the only school district in the Golden Triangle district able to compete.
âThese are our leadership development events. They competed in opening and closing, prepared speaking, extemporaneous speaking and the FFA creed,â said Hamilton FFA sponsor Jennifer Terrell.
Winners from the categories will compete at the district level through virtual events. Approximately 40 students in junior-level and senior-level teams from each of the schools competed. Senior teams can be comprised of grades eight through 12, and junior teams are younger students.
Opening and closing teaches students how to formally open and close meetings. Prepared speaking is based on prepared speeches on agriculture topics, and extemporaneous speaking deals with writing and giving a speech about a certain agriculture topic.
