Congratulations to Hannah Kay Kirby for placing 4th at the STATE FFA Creed Speaking finals. This year Hannah won the Big Country District contest, won the Area IV FFA contest, and competed at her best at the STATE FFA contest. There was a total of 695 FFA Creed Speakers in the State of Texas. This is quite the accomplishment, and we are super proud of her. She represented Wylie FFA well at one of the highest levels of competition.
