Santa Maria FFA Staff Ranch Breakfast

The Santa Maria High School Agriculture Department, FFA Officers and Ag Teachers kicked off the 2026-27 school year with their Annual Staff Ranch Breakfast.

During Friday morning's event, more than 50 students prepared food and welcomed hundreds of staff members and some District Office employees.

The breakfast was held in the newly modernized agriculture department on the SMHS campus. It featured an omelet bar, breakfast burritos, farm fresh fruit, muffins, coffee and other delicious offerings.

“Being able to help put this event on together with my peers and advisors has been such an amazing experience from helping hands on, to talking with staff and administrators about what they do. It has truly shown me a deeper appreciation for all they do to help support Santa Maria FFA and help us grow.” – Daniah Baez Alvarado 11th Santa Maria FFA Chapter Reporter

“Our annual staff breakfast is a great opportunity for FFA members to connect with our SMHS teachers and staff. This year's breakfast wouldn't have been possible without the generous support of our local agriculture industry, who donated the fresh produce and other products. We are very grateful for their partnership and dedication to the Santa Maria FFA.” – Shannon Powell, Saint Ag Teacher
