In FFA, a theme is used as a unifying message that guides the chapter’s focus, activities, and goals throughout the year. It provides direction and purpose, helping members stay aligned and motivated around a common vision. The theme often reflects key values such as leadership, growth, service, or agricultural excellence, and is used to inspire members in everything from planning events and community service projects to personal development and teamwork. By having a clear theme, the chapter can maintain consistency in messaging, promote engagement, and create a stronger sense of identity and purpose for both officers and members.

This year’s theme is…

The 2025-2026 Officer Team chose the word “Ascend” because it’s a strong and motivating theme for us and our members. It encourages members to rise above challenges, push beyond their limits, and continuously strive for personal and chapter growth. It symbolizes progress, leadership development, and reaching new heights whether in agriculture, academics, service, or personal goals. The word is simple yet powerful, making it easy to rally around while also inspiring members to elevate themselves and others through their actions, mindset, and commitment to excellence.
