FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more. For this reason, the name of the organization was updated in 1988 after a vote of national convention delegates to reflect the growing diversity and new opportunities in the industry of agriculture.

Mock Trial is the ideal club for students who wish to pursue a career in law or who just love to compete and have fun. We are given a court case, criminal or civil, and students assume the roles of witnesses and attorneys. We compete against other Mock Trial teams from the New Orleans area at an actual court house, with one side acting as the prosecution and the other team as the defense. It is a great opportunity for students to learn about the legal system and how lawyers prepare for court hearings. We work with various attorneys in the area to help students learn and prepare for competition.

These characteristics and their dedication is what makes them a great TEAM. During the first semester, VEX team members program and build unique robots to participate in competitions. In January, the FRC Team is in full swing building their robot for FIRST Competition in Louisiana, the Bayou Regional.
The robots we build are the vessel we use to spread our love of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) within the community in and outside of FHS. We volunteer at a variety of events demonstrating the team's robot designs and offering STEAM activities.
Our team offers opportunities to learn and utilize various skills: teamwork, communication, design process, electrical, programming, mechanical, graphic design, problem solving, planning and organization.
