Hockley County schools were represented by local FFA chapters from Whiteface, Anton, Whitharral and Levelland high schools at the Littlefield District (Area 1) LDE contest held on Nov. 12.
Leadership Development Events (LDE) focus on creating situations for members to demonstrate their abilities in public speaking, decision making, communication and their knowledge of agriculture and the FFA organization. Team and individual events are used to reinforce what is taught in agricultural science classrooms.
All LDE events have elimination rounds at the district and area before the state level competition.
