Chapter History
The Frontier FFA Chapter was founded in August of 2006 upon the opening of Frontier High School in Bakersfield, California. As the seventeenth high school in the Kern High School District, Frontier High School entered a strong agricultural community that was already familiar with the National FFA Organization through the FFA chapters at one of the twelve other programs in the area. On April 22nd, 2006, the Frontier FFA chapter became an official member of the National FFA Organization when it was presented with its charter at the 78th California State FFA Convention. The Chapter’s first agriculture teacher was Julie Beechinor. During the first few years, the agriculture department had only one agricultural teacher. Today the agriculture department has three teachers, and over 400 students in the program. During the chapter’s history, it has had many successes. Frontier FFA has produced one California State FFA Officer and multiple state level CDE winners. Kelcie Jones was our first state officer, and was elected as State FFA Secretary in 2012. In addition to state officer successes, the chapter has had a variety of winning proficiencies and successful CDE teams. Below, you will find a brief record of some of Frontier FFA's greatest achievements and accomplishments. Titan pride!
