Sidney Stiers & Mr. Rigg

Sidney Stiers walked across the national stage for the third time in her career this weekend to join an elite group to receive the American FFA Degree.

Earned by fewer than 1% of members, the American FFA Degree represents the highest degree within the National FFA Organization. It recognizes exceptional leadership, academic excellence, and remarkable achievements in agricultural experiences.

Sidney far exceeded the rigorous requirements for this distinction as the most-decorated member in Williamsfield FFA history and one of the most-accomplished members in Illinois FFA history.
