Agricultural Education has proven to hold true to its legacy in our community through the accomplishments of members of the Spanish Fork FFA Chapter. Recently Spanish Fork FFA had the opportunity of attending the Utah FFA Association State Convention in Cedar City. Many Spanish Fork members competed. Cody Cornaby won Star State Greenhand in Agricultural Placement. Kayden Worthington won first place in swine production, Chaleesa Warren won Star State in Agribusiness. Spanish Fork's parliamentary procedure team took 4th place.

Recently, Spanish fork was granted the presence of Jared McNaughton. Mr. McNaughton is a specialist in the field of animal embryo transplant. The students were entertained as McNaughton explained the things involved in his job. He mentioned how he mainly works with animals of the bovine category. He has preserved some embryos from some top cows. He told of the equipment he uses, a large glove. He informed the students of ways to get into the job. Overall, Spanish Fork High School students were very glad he came.
