If our high school competitors win at this level, they will win the opportunity to represent Southwest District at State 4-H Congress in Atlanta and compete for Master 4-H Status. 12th grade students who compete at DPA receive a 4-H graduation cord. Also at this event, 7th and 9th-11th graders will have the opportunity to run for a District Officer position to represent Lee County and Southwest District.? You must complete a 2 minute campaign speech and posters.? Let us know if you are interested!
