BRANSON, MO (February 23, 2024) – Agricultural instructor and FFA Advisor at Branson High School, Aaron Magnuson, has been selected as a semi-finalist for the Golden Owl Award.
Established by the Missouri FFA Foundation and Nationwide, this was the inaugural year for the Golden Owl Award contest in Missouri. The Golden Owl Award recognizes Missouri agriculture educators for their tremendous contributions to helping the next generation of agricultural leaders.
“Being nominated for any award amongst my colleagues in Missouri Agricultural Education is quite unexpected and a true honor,” says Maguson.
With almost 400 nominations received, 18 Missouri teachers have been selected as semi-finalists. Magnuson is now eligible to move on to the second round of the state competition where seven finalists will be chosen.
Magnuson has been teaching with the district since 2010. He says, “My favorite thing about being an Ag teacher at BHS is watching students achieve, whether they are completing a quality project in the shop, having success in competitions, or moving forward after high school to become productive citizens.”
“This is an honor for our students, our Ag program and the district,” says Branson High School Principal, Dr. Jack Harris.
