The final pages of the 2025–2026 City View FFA story have been written, and what a way to end the chapter.
This week at the Texas FFA State Convention, our members represented City View with pride, leadership, and professionalism.
Our chapter was recognized as a National Chapter Award Gold Rating chapter, advancing to the national level.
We celebrated eight Lone Star FFA Degrees, the highest degree the Texas FFA Association can bestow:
Brandon Beltran
Camden Walser
Audrey Graham
Brooklyn Owens
Anthony Nguyen
Shayna Deane
Makenzie Nicholson
Prestyn Brandon
We are especially proud of Audrey Graham, who represented our area while serving at the Texas FFA State Convention as an Area FFA Officer. Her year of service continues through next spring as she continues to lead and represent our members.
Every City View FFA member attending convention also had the opportunity to serve as a voting delegate, helping shape the future of the Texas FFA Association.
Convention wasn't just about awards. It was also about learning, building relationships, and creating memories. Our members attended the Aaron Watson concert, participated in Texas Fun Night, and enjoyed an evening at Dave & Buster's while celebrating another successful year together.
This convention marked the end of another incredible chapter in the City View FFA story. We are grateful for everything our members, parents, alumni, supporters, and community have invested in this program throughout the past year.
Now, we turn the page and begin writing the next chapter. We can't wait to see what the 2026–2027 City View FFA story will hold. State Convention officially opened the first chapter of our 25th year as a City View FFA chapter. We are excited for the opportunities ahead and look forward to writing another year filled with growth, leadership, service, and success

One of my favorite parts of Empowering Small & Rural Schools: CTE Solutions for Success is showcasing the incredible work happening in our schools.
Today, Mrs. Jennifer Lev shared the story of Senior Success, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park! Her passion for students and her commitment to ensuring every senior has a plan beyond high school was evident in every part of her presentation.
Senior Success is built on a simple but powerful belief: *we spend 13 years helping students earn a high school diploma, but too many still don't know what comes next.* By intentionally identifying and supporting students who need additional guidance, schools can create meaningful pathways to college, careers, military service, and industry certifications.
I'm incredibly grateful to have educators like Mrs. Lev on our team who are willing to share not only what works, but why it matters. Small and rural schools are proving every day that innovation isn't about size—it's about vision, relationships, and a relentless commitment to students.
Thank you, Mrs. Lev, for representing City View ISD so well and for inspiring fellow CTE leaders from across Texas!

Happy 250!!!
City View FFA members spent the last week attending Area IV Leadership Camp, where they grew as leaders, built new connections, and represented our chapter well!
A special congratulations to Audrey Graham, who served as an Area IV Officer and helped plan the entire camp over the past several months. Audrey also led workshops throughout the week, helping inspire and develop fellow FFA members from across the area.
We would also like to recognize Korbin Lindsey for earning the prestigious "Cleared for Takeoff" Award, which is presented to a camper who truly took off and excelled in their leadership development throughout the week.
We are incredibly proud of all of our members who attended camp. Their willingness to step outside their comfort zones, embrace new opportunities, and grow as leaders made this week a great success. We can't wait to see how they bring their new skills and experiences back to City View FFA!

We are proud to recognize Audrey Graham for representing our chapter as an Area Officer at the Texas FFA State Leadership Conference (SLC)!
During SLC, Audrey participated in leadership workshops led by the state officers, served on the Ag Teacher Recruitment and Retention Committee to provide recommendations to the Texas FFA Board, visited the FiberMax Center for Discovery, collaborated with fellow area officers to plan for the upcoming Area Leadership Conference (ALC), and built connections with FFA members from across the state.
She also had the opportunity to hear from incoming state officer candidates through a panel discussion, listen to inspiring keynote speakers, and enjoy the fun night dance.
Thank you, Audrey, for your dedication to leadership, service, and the future of agriculture education. We are proud of the way you continue to represent our chapter and look forward to seeing all you accomplish this year!

What an incredible night celebrating another amazing year for City View FFA 💙💛
Our annual banquet was the perfect way to wrap up the school year as we reflected on the accomplishments, memories, and growth of our members. The evening began with performances from Kadence White and Kay Smith while dinner was prepared, followed by an inspiring keynote message from past Texas FFA Association State President Isaac Hawkins.
Throughout the night, we recognized students for their participation in LDEs, CDEs, SDEs, and SAE projects, celebrated our Greenhand members, honored those receiving their Lone Star Degrees this July at the Texas FFA State Convention, and recognized Lillian Klein for advancing in her Food Science Proficiency Award. We were also proud to hear Madelynn Hopkins and Isabella Lopez present the English and Spanish FFA Creeds.
We also had the honor of presenting Superintendent Jesse Thomas with the Outstanding Support Award and are so thankful for our FFA Alumni Association for providing scholarships and livestock add-ons to support our students.
To close the evening, we retired our 2025-2026 chapter officers and installed the 2026-2027 officer team. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year one to remember. The future of City View FFA is bright! ✨

One of my favorite parts about Teen Topics is getting to watch students use their voice, creativity, and story to make an impact beyond the walls of our classroom.
Huge congratulations to Ariya Contreras for being selected as a winner in the Serenity House Regional Poster Contest! We are incredibly proud of her and the work she created.
Moments like this matter because they remind students that what they think, what they create, and who they are has value.
Way to go, Ariya. Your City View family is proud of you.
