President
Hi, I am Andie Estes and am currently our FFA President. I have been going to school in the valley since 5th grade. I was born and raised for half my life in Washington State. I work at my mom’s boutique in Livingston and sometimes help clean at my dad’s metal shop. Hobbies of mine include playing basketball, fishing, hiking, being on the lake, and really anything that has to do with the outdoors. While being in FFA, I have competed in many events such as Agronomy, Creed Speaking, Horse Judging, Range, Food Science, and Floriculture. The event I focus on the most is Agronomy. In 2021, my Agronomy team won state. We then got to go on and compete at the national level. We ended up placing in the silver award category and were 14th overall in the nation. FFA is an amazing organization and I encourage anyone who is interested to join!
2nd Vice President
I’m Reagan Long and I am the 2020 - 2023 2nd Vice President of the FFA Chapter. I have been going to school in Shields Valley since 1st Grade and enjoy participating in football, basketball, track, BPA, 4 - H, and FFA. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, shooting, golfing, and enjoying the outdoors. In FFA, I have participated in Agronomy, Mechanics, Sales, and Extemporaneous Public Speaking. I additionally own and operate my own lawn care business in the summer, and was able to attend the Washington Leadership Conference (WLC) this summer in Washington D.C. through FFA. In the past I have attended the Montana Alumni Leadership Camp (ALC), where I have been able to learn and grow leadership skills and meet new people.
