FFA wouldn't exist without agriculture teachers.
It's vital for us to encourage and recognize our teachers for their work Growing Leaders, Building Communities & Strengthening Agriculture.
That's why we are thrilled to announce the Kentucky FFA Golden Owl Award.
Presented by Nationwide® and the Kentucky FFA Foundation, the Golden Owl Award® recognizes agricultural educators across Kentucky for their tremendous contributions to helping the next generation of agricultural leaders. Students, fellow teachers and other supporters can nominate their favorite agricultural teacher and summarize what makes him or her the best in the state.
The goal of this program is to recgonize agriculture teachers for their tremendous hard work, but there are prizes!
Each Region in Kentucky FFA will have a Golden Owl Award Winner that will receive a plaque, meaningful recogntion and $500.
Those regional winners will complete an additional application and one of them will be selected as the Kentucky Agriculture Educator of the Year.
They will receive on stage recognition at Kentucky FFA State Convention, a plaque and $3,000!
If you know an agriculture teacher who has went above & beyond for their students, nominate them!
