Katy ISD schools win big at State FFA

Posted

The new year began with numerous state recognitions for three Katy Independent School District high schools.

Cinco Ranch, Katy, and Taylor high school FFA groups took home a combined 17 recognitions after participating in numerous leadership development events (LDE’s).
