FFA Advisor Jason Hubbard was nominated by the Wyoming FFA Association to receive his Honorary State degree. This award is given to recognize a select number of people who have made an important contribution to Wyoming FFA. For the first time, Rawhide FFA had 4 members who received their state degrees. A state degree is the highest level of recognition that a state can give, and is awarded to the top five percent of enrolled members in the state of Wyoming.
