DPS senior Sam Hoops is a finalist as a State FFA Star in Agricultural Placement. He is one of ten STAR finalists in this area, with 24 total star finalists in the 4 areas (Placement, Agriscience, Production, and Agribusiness). Hoops will be interviewed at State Convention on April 3rd - 5th, 2024, with hopes of being named Nebraska's State Star in Agricultural Placement at convention! Hoops is the first STAR finalist in Deshler FFA program history! Congratulations to Sam!
Hoops is also the person building our FFA greenhouse tables with the assistance of Reinke Manufacturing and Dave Staroscik. To say that Hoops' expertise in FFA and in our skilled and technical sciences' department will be missed next year would be an understatement. We are incredibly proud of you, Sam!
