Two FFA members from the ACHS FFA chapter were recently crowned State FFA proficiency award winners. Bruce Jones and Thomas Wilson placed first in their areas of work. 

Each student received a plaque, a FFA medal, and a cash prize in recognition of their accomplishments. In addition, each individual will represent Virginia in the national competition. National Finalists were named in early August and will compete for top honors during the 95th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind.
