Congratulations to our 2026 American FFA Degree recipients!
2025 graduates Hanna Wright, Quinton Grimes, Parker Morgan and Alexa Kemp earned the American FFA Degree, the highest degree an FFA member can receive. This award recognizes their hard work and dedication to FFA, their SAE projects, academics and community involvement.
Hanna, Quinton and Alexa traveled to Indianapolis to receive their degrees and attend the National FFA Convention & Expo. We are also proud to celebrate Mrs. Johnson, who traveled to Indianapolis to receive the Honorary American FFA Degree!
The Honorary American FFA Degree is the highest honor the National FFA Organization bestows upon individuals who have made a meaningful impact on agricultural education and FFA. Mrs. Johnson was recognized for her dedication to supporting students, strengthening agricultural education and helping develop the next generation of agricultural leaders. We are lucky to have her making a difference in our program and supporting our students!
Less than 1% of FFA members earn the American FFA Degree. Since Walla Walla FFA was chartered in 1931, 31 members have earned this degree.
Our Walla Walla FFA Chapter is proud of all five of you and these well-deserved accomplishments!

Did you know that Sno-Isle TECH has ASB just like our sending high schools?
Let's take a moment to get know some of our ASB students, say hello to our 2026-2027 AM ASB officers! They are ready to listen to your ideas and make this year one to remember!
Spokane Valley Tech
Mini Design is an annual school wide event that allows students to spend the entire school day working through the design process with a cross grade level, small group of their peers. Every year, our staff works hard to build real world scenarios that allow student teams to create real world solutions. Today, students worked together to build a product that would aid various types of family units to evacuate and escape a fast moving fire, such as the Spokane wildfire from this summer. We can’t wait to watch student presentations Tuesday.

We are grateful to our generous hosts, Spiceology and Hotstart Inc, who opened their doors to young minds earlier this week.
Our Manufacturing Connect program brought Spokane Valley Tech advanced manufacturing high school students to these two sites, allowing them to see firsthand what real career paths can look like after high school.
We appreciate how the Valley Chamber community steps up to shape opportunities for the next generation!
Our Media students had a great chance to interview their Digital Media Production Program Instructor.

This weekend was a busy one! Multiple Pre-Vet students had the opportunity to volunteer at the 3rd Annual Fall Fix Fest. Students assisted in the spay/neuter, vaccination and micro chipping of nearly 200 cats and dogs. This low cost clinic benefited families in the Othello, Moses Lake and Connel regions of Eastern Washington! Students teamed with local veterinarians, technicians, assistants and 4th year veterinary WSU students to learn and grow their skills. A special thank you to Adams County Pet Rescue, Sagehill Vet, Pawsitive Alliance, Animal Rescue Friends Society, Hills, Columbia Basin SNAP for making this event possible!
Last week, SEATech students visited the WaHi College and Career Fair to showcase the incredible hands-on opportunities waiting for future students.
Representatives from all six of our programs—Careers in Education, Careers in Media, Construction Technology, Criminal Justice, Advanced Manufacturing, and Health Sciences—were on site answering questions, sharing their experiences, and inspiring their peers to explore career and technical education.
Environmental Innovations spent two days in the field this week doing restoration projects. They did some weeding and soil prep for a community tree planting at the Doris Morrison Learning Center at Saltese Flats, as well as ladder fuels reduction in Riverside State Park. Students are learning job skills, supporting community projects and enjoying the sunny fall weather!
