Two Perryville High School students have earned the State FFA Degree, the highest degree members can receive at the state level. Seniors Garret Roth and Destiny Mudge were awarded the State FFA Degree at the State Convention in April.

Prior to 2020, the number of recipients was limited to 3 percent of the Missouri FFA Association members. Now earning the degree is based on minimum specific qualifications. Awarding of the degree is based on a member’s supervised agricultural experience program in agribusiness or production agriculture, and leadership ability as demonstrated through involvement in FFA, school and community activities.
