VERSAILLES – On August 7th, the Versailles FFA chapter was recognized in the 2026 National Chapter Award Program from the National FFA Organization. They were given a 3-Star ranking. Truly a mark of their exceptionalism, less than 10% of chapters nationwide are given a ranking from the National FFA Organization.
Versailles FFA has also been named a national finalist this year for the Model of Excellence Award Area. Only 10 FFA Chapters nationwide are selected as national finalists in this award area. As a National Finalist, Versailles FFA is among the most exceptional and innovative chapters in the National FFA Organization. They will compete for the national winner title on Wednesday, October 21, in Indianapolis at the 99th National FFA Convention and Expo.
The National Chapter program recognizes outstanding FFA chapters throughout the country that actively implement the mission and strategies of the organization. These chapters improve chapter operations using the National Quality FFA Chapter Standards and a Program of Activities that emphasizes growing leaders, building communities, and strengthening agriculture. Chapters are rewarded for providing education experiences for the entire membership.
This award would not be possible without the generous support of the Versailles Schools, Versailles Community, and all those who have supported the Versailles FFA. Thank you as well to Versailles FFA members Jayna Luthman, Paige Gehret, Rhylan Broerman, Greta Broering, and Gracie Henry who worked countless hours to write the National Chapter Application. Congratulations to all Versailles FFA members on this accomplishment and good luck this fall!
