The Bainbridge High School FFA Chapter has been selected as the Area 5 Outstanding Chapter for 2009-2010. This is the second year in a row the chapter achieved this status. The Outstanding Chapter award is given annually to the chapter that excels in FFA activities on the local, state and national level, goes beyond the call of duty, and represents a well rounded program.
