The market goat and market lamb state show just wrapped up this weekend at the Georgia National Fair in Perry. These Oglethorpe County High FFA members had a good weekend and enjoyed the fair. Several top 10 placings for these young ladies with their projects. Good job to Laura Spearing, Katherine Horsley, Ella Bennett, and Brinley Holloman! Luckily the hurricane didn't have a huge impact on the weekend, but we definitely had to adjust plans and change from the norms of having good weather and we were able to get it done.

It's that time of year for the 2026 Oglethorpe County High FFA Chapter Fruit Sale! Fresh fruit straight from the producer. The deadline to order is November 11th and fruit should be ready for pickup in the OCHS Ag Woodshop across from the baseball field on December 1st and 2nd. This is our only fundraiser each school year to operate our FFA Chapter. Pictured are this year's options and prices. We'd love for you to order from students in our Chapter, but if you can't find one send us your request after November 1st. You can pay with cash or check when you pick up your fruit order. Please write checks to OCHS FFA. As always we appreciate everyones support.

Had a great day with our FFA Officers and a couple extra students getting trained on how to teach ATV/UTV, tractor, lawnmower, water, and impaired operation safety to elementary children at the Honda rider school in Alpharetta. Looking forward to seeing these guys in action later this year.

We are excited and proud of John Utley for placing 2nd in Area 2 for the Tractor Operation and Maintenance CDE yesterday at East Jackson High School and qualifying for State Competition! He scored the highest in the driving score and written test in the contest. He also did well on the problem solving portion. Looking forward to competing at State in December down in Tifton,GA at ABAC.

Had the opportunity to celebrate these two Seniors one more time at the Area 2 FFA Banquet last night as they brought home more hardware in recognition of their accomplishments this school year. Well deserved by these two hard working individuals. Proud of all of our Seniors and grateful they are part of our community!

The Star in Agribusiness Award was sponsored by the Georgia Agribusiness Council on the state level.
