WRHS student national finalist for FFA award
Warner Robins High School graduate Ronnie Kent Jr. is a finalist for the National FFA Proficiency Award in Environmental Science and Natural Resources-Entrepreneurship/ Placement.
Kent is one of only four students who will compete for this award at the national FFA convention held Oct. 30 – Nov. 2 during the 86th National FFA convention & Expo in Louisville, Ky.
