New England Public Schools

Our FFA chapter recently attended the 2026 FFA State Convention in Fargo ND on NDSU campus. Members of the chapter returned home with impressive accomplishments, lasting memories, and strengthened leadership skills. Students competed in Career Development Events, participated in leadership workshops, and explored future opportunities through the career fair. The highlight of the convention came as Bradley Krebs earned the title of 2026 State Champion in the Advanced Ag Mechanics CDE. In addition, the Advanced Ag Mechanics Team earned a gold award showcasing their collective strength and teamwork. Congratulations to all of the New England FFA members on a great convention and a job well done!
