📣 2025–2026 Vaccine Reminder for Incoming Pre-K, Kindergarten & 7th Grade Students!
‼️Colorado High School Principal Steve Komppa was recognized at this year's 2025 Agriculture Teachers Association of Texas Conference in Corpus Christi as an Outstanding Administrator. Mr. Komppa has been supportive of our program, department teachers, and kid involvement this year. We are so excited we could bring this award back for him.
Thank you Mr. Komppa from all your ag teachers for your continued support! 🐺
📢 Thank you, Wolf Nation, for the amazing turnout at Meet the Teacher last night! Your energy and support set the tone for an incredible year ahead. We can’t wait to kick off the 2025–2026 school year with you all on August 13!
🐺TODAY 🤝MEET THE TEACHER 🐺
As summer winds down Colorado FFA members and officers seized every opportunity to get involved and learn more. Area 2 leadership camp enhanced Kymani Martinez, Kylie Egan, and Lilli Carrillo's leadership drive and motivation at Howard College in preparation for the 2025-2026 school year.
Next up was State FFA Convention in Fort Worth Texas where students attended award sessions, business sessions, a concert, talent fun night, the state day of service event where we joined chapters from across the state in park cleanup activities, various workshops presented by incoming Texas State FFA Officers, various State officers from other regions like Colorado and Georgia, and a national officer. There was an exhibit hall where students got to visit with colleges from across the nation along with many business and industry folks. Those attending convention were Kymani Martinez, Kylie Egan, Danica Salazar Taylor, Marley Goldston, Lilli Carrillo, Angel Molano, Dallas Davis, and Raegan Silva. Only one had attended convention previously so they were in complete amazement with a total attendancenear 16,000 members in blue and gold jackets. This continued to add to students
excitement, drive, and motivation to get involved and bring ideas back for their chapter to share with others. Many students can't wait to do record books so they can have the opportunity to walk across the stage in the next year or two.
Opportunities taken, memories made, and all are ready to begin a new year with a new energized perspective.
Wolf Nation Builds Leaders!
