Which degree is earned in the senior year of high school membership?

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

Answer: (A)

In FFA, degrees show a member’s progression through leadership, involvement, and service, with higher degrees requiring more time and effort. The senior-year recognition is specifically tied to the State Degree, which is awarded to high school members who have demonstrated several years of active participation, leadership, SAE involvement, and community service during their high school career. Discovery is an introductory level for younger members, Greenhand is the first high school degree earned early in high school, and Chapter degree comes after meeting additional requirements as a developing member. Since the senior year is when students typically complete the broader qualifications for the state-level honor, the State Degree is the correct choice.
