Walla Walla FFA
@SEATech Skills Center
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!

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.

Tri-Tech Skills Center Pre-Veterinary Technician
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!

Moses Lake City Fire Department stopped by CB Tech yesterday to teach our fire fighting students tech rescue. The students learned how to repel and tie new knots. Student firefighter Girvan said, "It was a super fun day. I learned a lot of new things and it's always good to be around the guys from Station One." Thank you Moses Lake Firefighters for supporting our students and their learning!

Part 2: Things are getting egg-citing in Sports Medicine! 😂🥚
Our students explored osmosis and diffusion in action by soaking naked eggs in different solutions and observing changes in size, color, and appearance—inside and out! 🌈💧 And yes… they even tested just how bouncy an egg could be! 👀
But this experiment was about more than eggs! 🧪 Students connected their observations to real-world healthcare concepts, including lactose intolerance, sodium levels, blood pressure, and the role of diet and hydration in our body’s fluid balance. 🩺
What’s next? Tonicity, fluid balance, and the clinical applications of IV therapy! 💉
From hands-on experiments to patient-centered care, our future healthcare professionals are learning to understand the body from the inside out! 👩🏿⚕️👨🏽⚕️🧬
