ACHS FFA receives Gold Chapter Rating 2026-06-15 - Lexington, KY - Photo courtesy Robin Hancock. The Adair County High School FFA was recognized in our first ever Chapter Rating as Gold and Top 10 Percent at the 97th Kentucky FFA Convention in Lexington. ACHS FFA Secretary Abby Maulden (above) accepted the Gold Chapter Rating for the ACHS FFA.
