Godley FFA member Klara Pinkerton was honored as a state finalist during competitions at the 96th Annual Texas FFA State Convention on July 8-12, 2024, in Houston.

Pinkerton, a rising sophomore at Godley High School, has achieved remarkable success in FFA with her sheep production endeavors. She was a state finalist as one of the top four in the state with her Star Chapter Farmer Award, receiving a prestigious accolade recognizing her entrepreneurial skills and dedication to agriculture.
