Carissa Dalquest Elected to the East Central District FFA Officer Team

Carissa Dalquest was elected to the East Central District FFA officer team.  To become an officer, she had to go through two hard-hitting interviews to make the final slate, and then she had to create a candidate speech.  She was voted into office by two delegates from each school in the East Central FFA district.  Our district is the toughest in the state.  

 

Carissa also made it to state with her speech.  At the FFA State convention in June, she will give her speech to see where she places statewide.
