Spring Branch ISD’s Future Farmers of America (FFA) held its 46th Annual Show & Sale on Feb. 8-10, which yielded more than $470,000 in revenue for students. 

Sponsored by the Spring Branch FFA Alumni Association, the three-day event brings students the opportunity to showcase their work to the community. The FFA students are part of the Spring Branch ISD’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources program, where they gain knowledge through classroom instruction, as well as by working hands-on with animals.

The first two days of the event consist of shows and judging and the final day brings the auction. The students are expected to seek out buyers and donations, by applying marketing skills learned in the classroom. 

The Show & Sale gives students insight into real-world experiences, strengthening SBISD’s T-2-4 vision where every graduate attains a technical certificate, military training, or a two-year or four-year degree.

Congratulations to our Spring Branch FFA Show & Sale Champions!
