Congratulations to our ESMS FFA Agricultural Technology and Equipment (ATE) Team!

We are so proud of our team for placing 7th in the Area V Agricultural Technology and Equipment Career Development Event during Fall Break! Team members are Jonah Clements, Charlie Fletcher, Will McClendon and Eli Ross.

The ATE CDE is a hands-on team competition with four components:
🔹 Rotational Skill Practicum – Electricity, Woodworking, or use of an Automatic Level
🔹 Measuring Practicum
🔹 Tool, Equipment, and Part Identification
🔹 Multiple-Choice Written Exam

Each team member completes all four sections to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in agricultural mechanics.

This event gives students in grades 6–9 the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom, gain valuable experience in ag mechanics, and explore future careers in agricultural technology.

Way to go, ESMS FFA ATE Team!
