A Caldwell County High School student has been elected the 2023-2024 Kentucky FFA State Reporter.
Laken White, daughter of Jenny Birrell-White and Paul White, of Eddyville, is a member of the Caldwell County FFA

White was one of 23 candidates who ran for State Officer from across Kentucky. She completed an application and online interview process and was selected by a Nominating Committee made up of graduating senior FFA members and elected unanimously by the delegate body.
State FFA Officers commit to a year of service to the organization and complete extensive training following their election.

Their year of service will conclude during the 95th State FFA Convention which will be held June 4-6, 2024 in Lexington.
