In addition to the student degrees, Turner was awarded the Texas FFA Honorary Lone Star Degree.
“It was a tremendous honor to receive my Honorary FFA Lone Star degree. I am incredibly humbled that I was nominated by our local FFA leaders. The mission of the FFA organization is to, make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education,” Turner said. “It is easy to support a program that actively strives to support the success of our students and to make the word a better place.”
