When you think of a suburban school system like Hamilton Southeastern, farming does not always come to mind first.  However, HSE as a school corporation has a solid history tied to the industry of agriculture.  That connection continues to this day.

That connection was on full display at the Wednesday meeting of the Hamilton Southeastern School Board.  Two graduates of local high schools demonstrated the leadership and public speaking skills they have gained as state-wide officials of FFA.

The current FFA Indiana President, Claire Baney, and Sneh Jogi, northern Indiana vice -president of the organization, told the board how FFA had steered them in their educational experience.  Baney is a graduate of HSE High School, Jogi is a graduate of Fishers High School.  They each deferred their respective college educations to serve as FFA officials.
