The Finley FFA Chapter has earned the prestigious Three-Star National Chapter Award, the highest level of recognition a chapter can achieve through the National FFA Organization. This distinguished honor recognizes chapters that excel in developing and implementing a comprehensive Program of Activities that strengthens members, serves the community, and advances agricultural education. Less than 10% of chapters nationwide are given a ranking from the National FFA Organization.
Earning three-star status reflects the dedication, leadership, innovation, and hard work of the entire Finley FFA membership throughout the year. A special congratulations goes to Finley FFA members
Ava Teagle and
Soren Miles, who represented the chapter by preparing and presenting the National Chapter application at the Washington State FFA Convention. Following the state presentation, Ava took the lead in refining and preparing the application for national submission, ensuring the chapter's accomplishments were accurately showcased. Their commitment and attention to detail, combined with the efforts of every Finley FFA member, advisors, and supporters, helped the chapter achieve this outstanding national recognition. Receiving the Three-Star National Chapter Award is a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to the impact Finley FFA continues to make within the school, community, and agricultural industry.
Chapters received star ratings during judging this summer and will be recognized at the 99th National FFA Convention & Expo on October 21-24, 2026.
All star-rated FFA chapters receive honors made possible by corporate sponsors Bayer, Cargill Protein, John Deere, New Holland, Rabobank and Syngenta. The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 1,053,847 student members as part of 9,591 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
