Hawkins, former MCHS student, receives FFA's highest degree Edmonton, KY - Metcalfe County Schools is proud to announce one of its former students, Harley Hawkins, has received the American FFA Degree. This degree is the highest degree achievable in the National FFA Organization. Hawkins, a 2016 graduate of Metcalfe County High School, says she was born with a passion for agriculture. "I grew up on a family farm," Hawkins said. "Many people think agriculture is just about farmers, but it's all around us. Everyone eats three meals a day, but so many of those people don't have any idea where their food comes from." Hawkins currently attends Western Kentucky University where she is majoring in Agriculture Education. She plans to become a teacher when she graduates. Superintendent of Metcalfe County Schools, Dr. Benny Lile, says the entire school district is proud of Hawkins. "As a former FFA member I understand the significance of obtaining the highest degree available within the organization. It takes an unbelievable amount of effort and dedication to achieve that level," Lile said. "The fact Harley has obtained her American FFA degree is no surprise to me. She exhibited the same diligence and work ethic while a student at MCHS." Hawkins' parents, Harvey and Lynn Hawkins, are employees at Metcalfe County Schools and also own Hawkins Farm. Along with her parents, Hawkins credited her agriculture instructors with helping pursue her goals. Metcalfe County teacher John Allen said, "The Metcalfe County FFA Organization is proud of Harley Hawkins as she has received this award that has only been obtained by a select few FFA members. We look forward to her continued community involvement and her future accomplishments." In order to receive the American FFA Degree, members must meet strict qualifications including receiving a State FFA Degree, hold active membership for the past three years, complete secondary instruction in an agricultural education program, and operate an outstanding supervised agricultural experience program. Hawkins was recognized for her achievement on-stage at the 91st National FFA Convention & Expo on Oct. 27 in Indianapolis. She received a certificate and the American FFA Degree key. "I'm proud of where I come from, and I'm proud of the community I represent," Hawkins said. "I hope as a teacher, I can become a positive influence and role model for other Future Farmers of America." This story was posted on 2018-11-04 06:26:15
