Seven FFA Members Named Presidential Scholars

Seven FFA student members have been named U.S. Presidential Scholars, one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students. The seven students were named winners for their accomplishments in academics, the arts, and career and technical education. Of the 3.7 million students expected to graduate from high school this year, more than 5,700 candidates qualified for the 2024 award, and 161 students received the honor. The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, established in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson, was created to recognize the nation’s most distinguished high school graduating seniors. In 2015, the program was expanded to recognize students demonstrating ability and accomplishment in career and technical education. “We are extremely proud of this accomplishment for these seven FFA members,” says National FFA CEO Scott Stump. “We know that our members are current and future leaders, and this demonstrates the students’ academic excellence.” The complete winners list is at ed.gov/psp.
