Board Recognition Spotlight 💛💚

The Doddridge County Board of Education proudly recognizes our Doddridge FFA Horse Evaluation Team for their outstanding accomplishments! 🐎✨

Earlier this fall, four of our Bulldogs traveled to Springfield, Massachusetts to compete in the Eastern States Exposition Horse Evaluation Career Development Event. The team placed 3rd in the eastern region, with three members finishing in the top nine — a tremendous achievement that reflects their hard work, skill, and dedication! 👏

🏆 Team Members:
Bell Holtz, Zoey Richards, Rogan Smith, and Trey McDonough

Under the direction of instructors Mr. Rabel and Ms. Wean, these students have demonstrated exceptional ability in evaluation, reasoning, and presentation — representing Doddridge County with excellence.

Next up, they’re heading to Columbus, Ohio next week to represent Doddridge County and the State of West Virginia at the National Competition! 🐴

We are incredibly proud of these talented students and wish them the very best as they take their #MissionInMotion to the national stage! 💚💛
