Purpose: FFA is the largest secondary youth organization in the world. FFA promotes the agricultural industry and develops personal leadership. FFA’s mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
Membership: Membership in FFA is open to any freshman or upperclassmen student enrolled in an agriscience course. Middle School Membership is available for 7th and 8th grade students at our partner schools. Students not enrolled in an agriscience course may participate in meetings and events at the local level, but can not be enrolled as a state or national member.
Activities: Some activities include:
Fairs: Walworth County Fair and Wisconsin State Fair

Meetings: The third Monday of each month at 6:15 p.m. in the Ag Room (w27). Some committee work is done during FLEX period.
3-Circle Model: The 3-circle model of agricultural education includes classroom instruction, Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), and FFA. This helps develop students into a well-rounded individual by gaining education, leadership, and work-based experience in the agricultural field. The 3-circle model makes FFA an intracurricular organization at Big Foot High School.
