Franklin County High School FFA Receives Top Honors at the Kentucky State Fair

Franklin County Schools (FCS) is proud to announce that members of the Franklin County High School (FCHS) Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter received top honors at the Kentucky State Fair, earning a statewide victory in school garden culinary arts and top finishes in wildlife management and floral design.

In the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) School Garden Cooking Challenge, FCHS took home first place. Students were tasked with harvesting produce directly from the school garden, developing an original recipe, and presenting a live cooking demonstration and taste test. The FCHS team included Senior Adam Alhamdani, Junior Gage Click, Junior Makenzie Ratliff, and Sophomore Gabby Roe.

"I enjoyed this contest because it was something different that we have never done before. It was a fun way for our team to be creative and step out of our comfort zones, especially cooking on the stage in front of that many people,” said FCHS Junior Makenzie Ratliff. “Being an FFA Officer and an advocate for agriculture, I enjoyed learning the process to not only grow our food at school but also cook it. We are already looking forward to next year's contest!"

The FCHS Wildlife team earned 4th place in the state overall, with team member Senior Garrett Roe receiving 2nd highest individual honors. The teams were tested on native Kentucky plant and animal identifications, as well as whitetail deer management strategies. Team members included Senior Garrett Roe, Sophomore Kolston Bratton, Senior Brayden Roberts, and Sophomore Lucas Gottler.

Team members Senior Madi Suter, Sophomore Xoe Harris, and Sophomore Natalie Wheeler represented FCHS in the Floral Design contest, where they were evaluated on plant and foliage identification and their ability to replicate floral arrangements accurately.
