Forty-one members of the Mount Pleasant High School FFA chapter attended the Area VI Convention in Carthage on Monday, February 26. Members listened to officer speeches as well as show stopping performances by the FFA talent teams. Delegates also voted in the 2024-2025 area officers and selected state officer candidates.

Mount Pleasant High School junior, Christo Escalante, placed 1st in the talent contest, advancing to state this summer. He performed “Momma Tried” by Merle Haggard, “El Rey” by Vicente Fernández, and “Carrying Your Love with Me” by George Strait. He won the Paris District FFA Talent Contest in January.

Escalante will represent Mount Pleasant and Area 6 at the FFA State Convention in Houston this July.
