School Board Recognizes Area Qualifying LDE Teams and Montague County Youth Fair Champions

The Saint Jo ISD Board of Trustees recently recognized district students who advanced to Area for FFA LDE contests, and students that earned Grand and Reserve Grand Champion honors at the recent Montague County Youth Fair.

During the board meeting, trustees commended the students for their hard work, responsibility, and commitment—qualities that reflect the strong agricultural and educational traditions of Saint Jo. The Board also acknowledged the support of families, teachers, and ag advisors who play an important role in helping students succeed.

Saint Jo ISD congratulates all student exhibitors who participated in the Montague County Youth Fair and FFA LDE contestants!
