Senior Section
Graduation Sash
It is a tradition of the Chico FFA to award graduating seniors for their outstanding achievements in agriculture and their superior involvement in the FFA program. In order for seniors to earn their graduation sashes, they must be a 3rd or 4th year FFA member.
Graduation Cords
In addition to sashes, Chico FFA also awards graduation cords to members who have shown even further commitment to the program by receiving their State Degree. It is an immense honor and privilege to receive your State Degree in the FFA and should be a source of great pride for the students.
