Jasper-Troupsburg Agriculture and FFA

06/12/2026

As graduation season comes to a close, our FFA chapter would like to recognize and celebrate two remarkable seniors, Brent Ross and Abigail Onyan.

Over the years, Brent and Abigail have helped shape our chapter through their leadership, dedication, and willingness to serve others. Whether participating in events, supporting fellow members, or representing our chapter, they have left a lasting mark on our FFA family.

While we will miss seeing them at meetings and activities, we are excited to watch them pursue new opportunities and achieve great things beyond high school. Their hard work and determination will undoubtedly lead them to success. We are proud of all you have accomplished and grateful for the impact you have made on our chapter.

Best wishes for a bright future, and remember, you will always have a home in FFA!

Today marks an important milestone for our school community as we have learned that FEMA has obligated funding for the relocation and construction of our new school facility.

Almost five years have passed since devastating flooding displaced our students, staff, and community from the building we once called home. During that time, our students have demonstrated remarkable resilience, determination, and pride. They have continued to learn, lead, compete, serve, and succeed despite the challenges that come with being separated from their school and many of the facilities and opportunities that support their education.

For our FFA chapter and agricultural education program, the impact of displacement has been significant. Agriculture programs rely heavily on specialized classrooms, laboratories, shops, storage areas, and learning spaces that allow students to develop career skills and hands-on experiences. While our members have continued to achieve success at the local and state levels, they have done so while adapting to circumstances far from ideal.

This project represents much more than a new building. It represents opportunity, stability, growth, and a renewed investment in the future of our students. It will provide future generations of FFA members with the facilities and resources needed to develop leadership skills, explore agricultural careers, and continue the proud traditions of our chapter.

As this process moves forward, we encourage our community members to stay informed, ask questions, and learn about the importance of this project. The decisions made today will impact students, families, and our community for decades to come.

We are incredibly proud of the resilience our students have shown over the past five years, and we look forward to the day when they can once again learn, grow, and lead in a school designed to support their success.

What an unforgettable week at the 101st NY FFA State Convention!

From competitions and leadership sessions to committee meetings and unforgettable memories, our Jasper-Troupsburg FFA members represented our chapter with pride, professionalism, and passion throughout the entire convention.

Our Floriculture Team had the opportunity to compete against some of the top teams in New York State while creating beautiful floral arrangements and continuing to grow their skills in the floral industry.
Congratulations to:

Our Jr. Quiz Bowl team also had an outstanding showing, demonstrating their knowledge of agriculture and FFA history all the way to a 🥉 3rd Place finish — falling by just one point to the eventual state champions!

We also want to recognize our chapter delegates — Gabriel Onyan, Abby, and Jessie — for representing Jasper-Troupsburg FFA during committee work, district meetings, and the State Business Session. Their voices and leadership will help shape the future direction of New York FFA. Following the sessions, they returned to conduct a chapter meeting and share important updates with our members. Thank you for stepping up and leading our chapter so well.

One of the biggest highlights of convention was the opportunity for our members to meet Jasper’s own former National FFA President, Gary Swan! Thank you, Gary, for spending time with our students, sharing your experiences, posing for pictures, and inspiring the next generation of leaders within our organization. Opportunities like these remind our members what is possible through FFA.

As we return home, we are incredibly proud of the dedication, sportsmanship, leadership, and growth shown by every member who attended. This convention was about far more than awards — it was about learning, building relationships, stepping outside comfort zones, and growing stronger together as a chapter.

The future of Jasper-Troupsburg FFA continues to grow brighter because of these members and the way they represent our school and community. We can’t wait to see what’s next. 💙💛
