Future Farmers of America (FFA) is the Career and Technical Student Organization paired with Agricultural Education classes. All students enrolled in Agriculture classes have FFA opportunities available to them. Throughout FFA, members can take the knowledge they are learning in ag classes and participate in various contest and events. Agriculture Classes and FFA opportunities include traditional Ag activities like livestock, crops and welding but also include expanded interests like landscaping, small animal care and floriculture. Student’s leadership is developed through speaking events, team demonstrations and speakers and conferences.

Today’s Agricultural Education carries on the tradition of providing instruction through an integrated model of classroom and laboratory instruction, leadership development through FFA and experiential work-based learning through a student’s individualized Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program. These opportunities are extended to the Wahoo Public High School students as they participate in the Bishop Neumann Ag classes and FFA chapter as well.

What is Trap Shooting?

Trap shooting is a shotgun sport where a student is trying to break clay disk targets flying out of a concrete bunker that is 16 to 27 yards in front of them.  A round of trap consists of twenty-five shots, five each from five stations (or posts). The closest stations are in an arc 16 yards behind the trap house. After five shots at one station, shooters move to the right with the last person moving to the far left post.  After mounting the gun, you call “pull”. An oscillating trap throws a target at a random angle away from you.  The shooter tries to hit the clay disk, 50 times in the first round. The shooters are handicapped for the next round and the higher-ranked shooters will shoot from 27 yards and lower-ranked shooters will stay at 16 yards.  The total score from the first and second rounds are totaled (best of 100 shots) and the highest individual scores receive medals or trophies and the member’s scores from each team are added up for the team championship.
