The Chapter Degree is earned in which year of high school membership?

• A. First year of high school membership
• B. Second year of high school membership
• C. Senior year of high school membership
• D. After graduation from high school

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how FFA degrees are earned through a progression of years in membership. The Chapter Degree operates as the next step after the Greenhand degree, and members typically earn it after completing their first year of active FFA participation. By the second year in high school, a member has had time to be involved in Chapter activities, meet the requirements set for the degree (such as demonstrating leadership, completing an SAE project, and understanding basic parliamentary procedure), and show ongoing commitment. That eligibility window is what makes the second year the standard time to earn the Chapter Degree, rather than the first year or after graduation.
