Pine Valley Jr. FFA is an organization that is part of the New Caney FFA! Students enrolled in third through eighth grade can join Jr. FFA. We meet with the FFA chapter at the High School on the First Monday of every month. Membership fees are $20/student for the year. Junior membership fees must be paid before December 1.
Students that join the Junior FFA may show livestock, horticulture, homemaking, photography, and art, as well as compete in livestock judging contests.

How to Join

If you are interested in Junior FFA or would like more information, please contact Tyler Blazek.

Livestock Judging is the evaluation of an animal's characteristics and making a comparison to other animals and the ideal standard of that particular class of animals. After each animal in the class is evaluated, the member ranks the animals from the most desirable to least desirable. There are four animals in a class and anywhere from 7 - 12 classes to judge in a contest. Species that are judged include, but are not limited to, heifers, bulls, gilts, ewes, market steers, market hogs, market lambs, and market goats. Competing in livestock judging not only provides members with an extensive knowledge of livestock characteristics, but gives members the opportunity to build decision making and leadership skills they will need in their future.

Who can compete?

Any members of Pine Valley Jr. FFA are welcome to compete on the Jr. Livestock Judging team.

How many members are on a team?

Teams are comprised of four members. Members can also judge as individuals.

Where are contests held?

We travel to several contests over the course of the school year. 

The purpose of National Junior Honor Society is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, to develop character, and to encourage good citizenship in the students of secondary schools.

How to Join

Beginning Orchestra

Beginning orchestra is a class for 6th, 7th or 8th graders that teaches students the basics of how to read music, and how to play one of the four stringed instruments of the orchestra – violin, viola, cello, or string bass. Students do not need to have any previous musical knowledge, although it is helpful if they do. Students will need their own instrument.

The beginning class will perform at a concert in December and in May during a normal school year.

Students must be able to play the concert music and sight read at a high level to go to UIL contest.
