FFA Mission: FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier  leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

• FFA is the top school-based youth leadership development organization in the United States. FFA cultivates and  nurtures future leaders who go on to change  how the world grows.

• Through a unique combination of education, experiential learning, and service-based opportunities rooted in agriculture, FFA empowers middle and high school students to become our next generation of courageous andknowledgeable leaders. 

• All ASTE students are members of the Rockville FFA Chapter. We elect chapter officers, and engage in activities, events, and competitions related to the organization’s mission. 

• Every year, our FFA chapter takes time to plan ways to provide engaging opportunities focused on growing leaders, building communities and strengthening agriculture. 

• Chapter meetings are held each month. By participating in the meetings, members learn communication, planning and parliamentary skills. 

• Recreation and refreshments aid in building relationships before and after meetings.
