What is the highest degree in the National FFA Organization?

• A. Discovery Degree
• B. Chapter Degree
• C. American Degree
• D. State Degree

Answer: (C)

The highest degree in the National FFA Organization is the American Degree. This is the premier recognition, awarded after a member demonstrates a long-term commitment to FFA, outstanding leadership, and a solid record of achievement across classroom instruction, an SAE (supervised agricultural experience), and community service, all at the national level. It represents the culmination of a member’s FFA career and is more prestigious than degrees earned at the chapter, state, or discovery levels. The other degrees recognize achievements at progressively lower levels—Discovery for younger members starting out, Chapter for active members within a local chapter, and State for substantial involvement recognized by the state association—while the American Degree signifies the top national level of accomplishment.
