The Johnson County FFA has been a proud tradition in Johnson County since 1942. It has been recognized nationally as an outstanding FFA chapter.
FFA Mission
To make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. FFA Motto Learning to Do Doing to Learn Earning to Live Living to Serve
The FFA is an integral part of the
agriculture program at Johnson County Vocational School. It makes learning more fun and
more interesting through real life experiences. You are not just part of an audience, you
get a piece of the action. As a member of the FFA, you will be part of the largest youth
organization in America, with about a half million members.
FFA members learn to reach for the stars.
You have talents not yet discovered by you or by others. The FFA will help you find and
develop these talents and change your life for the better. 
No matter what your career objective may be, the leadership qualities that
you develop through the FFA will benefit you for a lifetime. The FFA can and does
make your education a wonderful part of your life. It makes the classroom come
alive. You will become active in many citizenship, team building, and leadership
activities as well.
If you get involved in the FFA you’ll develop lasting friendships, earn money, receive awards, travel, enter contests, attend summer camps, and the list goes on and on. Your limitations in the FFA are only set by you. As an FFA member you may also become eligible for over two million dollars in scholarships.
In agriculture education, the world becomes
part of your classroom. To get the most from your 
education, not
everything can be learned in the classroom. Through the FFA, you may be given the
opportunity to visit and learn in such places as the National FFA Convention, National
Agriculture Career Show, National Farm Machinery Show, EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World,
National Hydroponics Conference, Horticulture or Lawn and Garden Shows, Fish Hatcheries,
Sawmills, TN Aquarium, and the list goes on.
FFA is a school-based part of agricultural education programs in public schools and is federally chartered by Congress through the U.S. Department of Education.
