    The Mount Pleasant High School FFA teams competed at the Longview FFA Leadership Development Event (LDE) invitational competition Tuesday, October 18. Students are practicing for the upcoming district and area competitions in November.

    Notably, MPHS FFA members placed 5th in Senior Skills, 6th in Public Relations, 8th in Ag Advocacy, and took 9th, 10th, and 16th places in Spanish Creed. Team members also competed in Job Interview, Radio Broadcasting, Senior Creed, Greenhand Creed, Greenhand Quiz, and Senior Quiz.

    “This was a great practice contest to prepare for District and Area competitions,” said FFA advisor, Susie Hearron. “We had 23 students that competed with many that had never competed before.”
