Wishek Public School is proud to recognize two of our seniors, Treyton Ruenz and Kiarra Opsahl, for receiving their North Dakota State FFA degree. This is the highest honor that the state of North Dakota can award FFA members and is reserved for members that have shown incredible dedication and service to the FFA. Of the 8,000 FFA members across the state, only 145 were selected this year to receive this honor. In other words, only about 2% of members are able to achieve this milestone. Kiarra currently serves as the chapter president and Treyton currently serves as our chapter reporter. Congratulations Kiarra and Treyton! We are proud of you for representing us at the highest level!
