Opportunities to Get Involved
Competitive Events
Throughout the year, members of the Hollister FFA Chapter participate in a variety of different judging teams. A judging team is an extension of the classroom and allows members to experience detailed instruction within a particular area of agriculture. In addition, participation in a judging team helps students develop leadership skills and allows them to be recognized for their achievements. The following teams are available for students to become involved in this year:
