Frenship High School FFA Advisor Melani Howell said Career Development Events build on what is learned in agricultural classes and encourage members to put their knowledge into practice.

“These events are designed to help our members prepare for a career in agriculture by testing and challenging the student's technical, leadership, interpersonal and teamwork skills, as well as their knowledge of the subject matter,” Howell said. “Career Development Events answer the question, ‘When will I use this knowledge in the real world?’ It has been an awesome year for Frenship FFA.”
