Hamilton FFA Alumni & Supporters

Behind every successful FFA chapter is a community of people who are always willing to lend a helping hand. 💙💛

At our recent Hamilton FFA Banquet, we were proud to present Appreciation Awards to several individuals and organizations who have gone above and beyond in supporting our students and program. This year's recipients included the Hamilton FFA Alumni & Supporters, Mr. Larson, Mrs. Rollins, Madison County Farm Bureau, and Harry Jarcho.

From supporting trips and leadership events to sharing their talents, expertise, and countless hours of time, these individuals have helped provide opportunities that make a lasting impact on our members.

Thank you for your generosity, encouragement, and unwavering support of Hamilton FFA. We are truly grateful for all that you do! 🌾🐄🌻

The Hamilton FFA banquet has come and gone and we’re still reminiscing! 🤗 We celebrated all our members and recognized supporters, thank you to all who attended!
Our 2nd Annual Chicken BBQ was also an absolute success! It surpassed our expectations and beat last year’s record being even bigger and selling more dinners! We can’t forget about our basket raffle which ended with some very happy winners and we’re so grateful for every person who purchased a ticket to support! 🎟️

A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported our members, chapter, and alumni group! This was a very successful season and we cannot wait for a busy summer full of exciting activities and new opportunities! 🙌🏼
