INDIANAPOLIS (August 15, 2025) – The North Iredell High School FFA chapter in Olin, North Carolina, has earned a 3-star ranking in the 2025 National Chapter Award Program from the National FFA Organization. Fewer than 10% of FFA chapters nationwide receive this distinction, highlighting the chapter’s dedication and excellence.

The National Chapter Award Program honors FFA chapters that excel in implementing the organization’s mission. Chapters are evaluated on their use of the National Quality FFA Chapter Standards and a Program of Activities focused on developing leaders, strengthening communities, and promoting agricultural education. Star-rated chapters are recognized for providing meaningful, hands-on experiences that benefit all members.

Awards were determined during judging this summer, and all star-rated chapters will be formally recognized at the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo, scheduled for October 29 through November 1.

This recognition is made possible through the support of corporate sponsors including Bayer, Cargill Protein, Case IH, John Deere, Syngenta, and Rabobank.

The National FFA Organization is a student-focused leadership group with more than 1,042,245 members across 9,407 local chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
