FFA students at Houston and San Antonio livestock show

Victoria ISD Future Farmers of America (FFA) students continue to make us proud as they showcase their agricultural expertise and leadership skills beyond our local community. 

Following their outstanding participation in the Victoria Livestock Show, our Future Farmers of America FFA students from Victoria East and Victoria West High Schools went on to represent VISD at both the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

These events are among the most prestigious in the state, drawing student exhibitors from across Texas to demonstrate their skills in livestock handling, breeding, and showmanship. Our students stood tall among their peers, exemplifying the dedication, responsibility, and excellence instilled by our CTE and FFA programs.
