Mount Pleasant High School FFA wins Ag Olympics.

Mount Pleasant High School FFA members have a reason to brag since they are the newly crowned champions of the third annual Ag Olympics hosted on Tuesday, September 12, at Pittsburg High School.

Ag Olympics is a combination of six-team relay races and team-building activities. “Ag Olympics is a wonderful opportunity for FFA members to get to know their fellow chapter members, make memories, and meet other members from a different chapter,” said MPHS FFA advisor Susie Hearron. “This year was especially rewarding for Mount Pleasant FFA because we finally brought home the trophy.”

Mount Pleasant FFA will host next year’s Ag Olympics to keep the tradition going.
