HARTSBURG -- Betsy Pech, agriculture
teacher at Hartsburg-Emden High School, recently received the
Honorary American FFA Degree at the 2012 National FFA Convention.
This award is given to those who advance agricultural education and
FFA through outstanding personal commitment.

The National FFA Organization works to enhance the lives of youth
through agricultural education. Without the efforts of highly
dedicated individuals, thousands of young people would not be able
to achieve success that, in turn, contributes directly to the
overall well-being of the nation. The Honorary American FFA Degree
is an opportunity to recognize those who have gone beyond valuable
daily contributions to make an extraordinary long-term difference in
the lives of students, inspiring confidence in a new generation of
agriculturists.
Recipients are selected on the basis of their contributions in
the following seven areas: classroom/laboratory instruction,
experiential learning of students, the National FFA Organization,
building partnerships, agricultural education program marketing,
agricultural education program development and evaluation, and
professional development of agricultural education teachers.

In addition, teachers must have taught for a minimum of 10 years,
and their agricultural education program must have had 85 percent
membership in the past year.
