Welcome To Santa Rosa FFA
Santa Rosa FFA, founded in 1928, just celebrated its era of excellence. The third oldest FFA chapter in California is located in the heart of Sonoma County, only an hour north of San Francisco. Surrounded by rolling pastures filled with cattle and miles of vineyards, the historic campus is one of the oldest in the state. The 226 members represent an urban demographic, whose enthusiasm for agriculture and science is unmatched. The Santa Rosa FFA has a historical past, being home of the first National Vice President, and a promising future.
The Santa Rosa Agriculture Department and FFA Chapter would like to thank the Ag Boosters, Agriculture Advisory, Kendall Jackson, community members, parents, school administrators and district for their continued support. With their dedication and passion for agriculture education the Santa Rosa Agriculture Department and FFA Chapter will continue to grow, thrive, and succeed!
Congratulations to the State Scholarship Finalists!
