Celeste Independent School District

Celeste FFA had a very successful run at the 2022 Hunt County Fair.  FFA members exhibited animals in all livestock categories.  Ag Mech students participated in the build off contest and exhibited shop-built projects.  Madisyn Douglas beautifully represented Celeste FFA in the Queen’s contest, FFA members volunteered for special needs day, and students participated in the livestock judging contest.  Senior FFA member, Justin Richey, received a $2000 Phil Garrett Memorial Scholarship, and Celeste secured 17 sale slots in the Hunt County Fair of Champions.  Congratulations to all FFA members and their families for the hard work, commitment and dedication that went into preparing these projects for the fair.
