In Georgetown, Del., the Sussex Central FFA Chapter has grown significantly in recent years to accommodate a growing and diverse student population.
According to Brandon McCabe, the chapter’s advisor and agricultural educator at Sussex Central High School, although the area is home to grain and poultry farms, the region’s proximity to the beach also means a significant number of acres are now in suburban areas. Therefore, the school’s enrollment is nearly 2,100, with nearly 1,500 students taking at least one agricultural education class this year, and the chapter fluctuates between 75-100 members per year.
Read on to learn about this unique chapter and how it prepares students for success in FFA and their future endeavors.
