Way to Go

Both of the Clements FFA judging teams qualified for STATE by placing exceptionally high in our District III AND Area III competition with 190 schools participating. In order to qualify for state, we had to be in the top 15% of the teams competing on the Area level. To put this accomplishment into perspective, only one other FBISD team qualified for state.
