The Buckingham High School and Buckingham Middle School chapters are among 7,859 chapters in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  The FFA is a co-curricular organization that is an integral part of the agricultural education curriculum. Members are given hands-on experience in the agriculture classroom, leadership opportunities to build their personal growth, premiere leadership, career success and work experience through supervised agricultural experiences. Among many activities throughout the year, the Buckingham FFA chapters have competed at the Virginia State Fair, challenged by Appomattox FFA chapter in a “Super Bowl” canned food drive, participated in leadership conferences at Virginia Tech and Graves Mountain Lodge and will compete at the Virginia FFA state convention in June.
