HIGH SCHOOL 4-H

SR 4-H'ers at State 4-H Congress

Bloom Where You Are Planted!

We make learning fun!  Quiz bowl teams, judging team, project activities and community service are all fun events and programs planned for 9th - 12th graders. 

You  are invited to join 4-H!  Senior 4-H'ers have the opportunity to travel at both the state and national level, teach their own programs, become a Master 4-H'er, and much more!

Our Senior 4-H'ers are extremely active, not only in 4-H activities, but other sports & school activities.  We are super proud and supportive of our Oconee 4-H SRs!

Where We Meet

Meetings are held after school at the Extension Office. Transportation can be provided from school (Oconee High School, North Oconee High School, and Westminster Christian Academy only), if requested.


Senior DPA

Project Achievement is one of the most prominent 4-H competitions. It helps 4-H'ers develop both oral and written communication skills while giving them the opportunity to investigate or research a topic of their interest. 4-H'ers will spend a weekend at Rock Eagle  competing against other 4-H'ers from the Northeast district.


Sigma Lambda Chi

Sigma Lambda Chi is the Oconee 4-H Honor Society for Senior 4-H members. Members are inducted based on their participation in certain 4-H activities and events during their Senior 4-H career. Becoming a member of Sigma Lambda Chi is not an easy task. Members must complete a long list of requirements which focus on service, leadership, and citizenship. All inductees are recognized at the annual 4-H Awards Program in May.


Scholarships

Graduating high school Seniors are eligible to apply for 4-H Scholarships. There are scholarships available to Oconee 4-H'ers from the State 4-H Office and also from Oconee County 4-H. Please click below for more information and scholarship applications:
