Tomales FFA
The Tomales FFA Chapter was chartered on October 1, 1929 by 18 young men of the Tomales area. Our founding members were: Francis Cornett, Neibo Casini, Donato Albini, Lawerence Cunnigham, Tom Greer, Edward Williams, Paul Jones, Lester Hulbert, Eddie Poncia, Walter Mache, Peter Giacomelli, Joe Wilson, Francis Righetti, Arnold Righetti, Henry Neles, Donovan Rego, George Slattery and Wilbur Parks. Many of these families still live in the school district and their children attend Tomales High School.
In 2016 there are 45 members of the high schools 154 students enrolled in an agriculture course. The chapter is active in public speaking events and leadership development. Generally 20-25 students exhibit livestock at one of the three local county fairs. The most common livestock SAE's are Dairy, Sheep, Swine and Beef.
The Tomales Friends of Agriculture supports the chapter members by paying for trips, awards, leadership conference fees and providing scholarships to seniors that have completed the agriculture departments program of instruction.
