Zapata FFA Chapter competed in the Wintergarden Leadership Development Events (LDE) held in Poteet High School on November 13, 2017. LDE focuses on creating situations for members to demonstrate their abilities in public speaking, decision making, communication and their knowledge of agriculture and the FFA organization. Team and individual events are used to reinforce what is taught in the agriculture science classrooms.
Students competed against students from Peasanton, Jourdanton, Eagle Pass, J.B. Alexander (Laredo), Charlotte, La Pryor, Dilley and Poteet.

There are some students who set the bar. They work harder, show more passion and lead by example--in the classroom, on the field and within the community. Today, Wendy's High School Heisman recognizes Laura Villarreal from Zapata High School as a Wendy's High School Heisman winner. Congratulations!!
