Mount Pleasant High School FFA members have another reason to brag since they are the back-to-back champions of the fourth annual Ag Olympics. MPHS hosted Pittsburg FFA on Tuesday, September 10 for an evening of pizza, games, and team building.

Ag Olympics is combination of team relay races and challenges including hay stacking, wheelbarrow races, egg in the spoon race, and penny in a haystack, just to name a few. “Ag Olympics is a wonderful opportunity for FFA members to get to know their fellow chapter members, make memories, and meet other members from a different chapter,” said MPHS FFA advisor, Susie Hearron. “This year was especially rewarding for Mount Pleasant FFA because we were able to host the Ag Olympics here at Mount Pleasant High School and won the trophy.”

The winner hosts the next year so the fifth annual Ag Olympics will stay at Mount Pleasant High School in 2025 to keep the tradition going.
