Midway was represented well at the FFA’s yearly Career and Leadership Development Events (CDE) Competition. Student’s competed in events and teams such as Vet Science, Tractor Tech, Food Science, and Farm Business Management.
The FFA’s CDE program aims to help develop college and career readiness skills in students. Students participating in FFA are challenged to develop critical thinking and effective decision-making skills, while fostering teamwork and promoting communication. The yearly competition gives students the chance to exercise the skills they have learned, while promoting the value of both ethical competition and individual achievement.
CDE and LDE events occur at the local, state and national level. They are designed and regularly evaluated to meet AFNR Career Cluster Content Standards.
