About Us
FFA Mission Statement
FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
Chapter leadership is provided by our two advisors, hired by the Board of Education, and the student officers, elected yearly by the chapter's members.
The Rising Sun is managed by the Chapter Reporter and reviewed by the advisors. The goal of this publication is to keep current and former Wauseon FFA members and supporters informed about student activity and opportunities, while staying in good taste with FFA values and the code of conduct set forth by the Wauseon Exempted Village School District.
