The State Degree is earned in which year of high school membership?

• A. Senior year of high school membership
• B. First year of high school membership
• C. Second year of high school membership
• D. After graduation from high school

Answer: (A)

In FFA, degrees are earned as you gain experience and meet specific requirements. The State Degree is the highest recognition you can receive while still in high school, and it reflects multiple years of active membership, SAE work, leadership, and scholastic achievement. Because these qualifications accumulate over time, they’re typically completed by the senior year, making that the time you’re awarded the State Degree. After graduation, the next and final level—often the American FFA Degree—is pursued, not the State Degree.
