Chapter History, Awards, & Recognition

History

Hitchcock FFA was chartered as the 38th Chapter in 1936.  The Hitchcock FFA Chapter and agricultural education program was closed some time in the next six years, but not before two members were able to get their State Degrees. Tulare FFA was chartered on November 18th, 1957 as the 149th Chapter.
