The Warren ISD School Board proudly celebrated the remarkable achievements of the Warren FFA Forestry Team, which earned a Team Silver ranking at the National FFA Convention. This prestigious honor highlights the team's dedication, exceptional skills, and hard work, placing them among the best in the nation.

Completing a compass and pacing practicum
This competition emphasizes critical thinking, technical knowledge, and teamwork, and the Warren team demonstrated excellence in all areas.
