Agriculture Interscholastic: AN Aggie TRADITION FOR MORE THAN 70 years
When the members of the Oklahoma Legislature passed Senate Bill 109 on May 20, 1908, which laid the foundation for Cameron State School of Agriculture, little did they know that more than 100 years later, Cameron University would still be attracting high school students with an interest in agriculture to its campus. For more than 70 years, Cameron has hosted the annual Agriculture Interscholastic career development event, with the exception of 2020, when the event was cancelled due to the pandemic. Each year, hundreds of high school students descend upon the Cameron campus to test their skills in areas ranging from practical animal science and agronomy to leadership and business while they prepare for the state FFA competition. By hosting the Agriculture Interscholastic, CU provides high school students from across the state an opportunity to qualify for the state competition and to explore opportunities for their future education.
