Please join PCS in celebrating and recognizing National FFA Week. FFA is the top school-based youth leadership development organization in the country, with more than one million members in all 50 states, as well as two territories, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Formerly known as Future Farmers of America, the organization was rebranded as FFA because it now equips students with the skills to pursue more than 350 careers in business, science, engineering, education, communications, policy, and more. PCS is fortunate and thankful to have such a strong representation and mentorship in FFA and through the Ag programs at PHS.
