2011-2012 State Secretary Kyle Largent

Being born and raised in a small community, Kyle Largent had the opportunity to be involved in many diverse and engaging activities growing up and while attending Colfax High School. In May of 2011, Kyle graduated with forty-two others after four very busy years earning his diploma. Kyle spent the majority of his time focused on his FFA chapter and District VI FFA. He served as President of both for two years and enjoyed his time giving back to his chapter and meeting members from all over his district. He also spent time in the theatre performing during his high school’s drama productions, singing in the choir, participating in National Honor Society, Knowledge Bowl, and five different athletic programs in his four years. He was active outside of school through taking voice and guitar lessons, being involved in his church’s youth group, and enjoyed being a trained “sandwich artist” working at Subway on the side. Kyle’s SAE project was working harvest on his family wheat farm and raising a pig, Ellen, for his county fair. Kyle’s favorite CDE’s are Creed and Job Interview; both of which he was able to represent Washington State competing at National Convention.

Already this year, Kyle has enjoyed meeting officer teams from other states, visiting fairs all over Washington, and of course meeting so many fun members during Blue and Gold Tours and Leadership Camps. Because of Kyle’s love of public speaking and performing, he is looking forward to all of the chapter visits and homestay’s throughout his term as a state officer. This year is a year of service for Kyle. He is excited to give back to the FFA because of all it has given to him these last four years. FFA motivated, inspired, and molded Kyle into the individual he is today, and he strives to help give this experience to other members as well.

After State Convention this year, Kyle plans to attend Northwestern University in Chicago and earn a degree in Communications with a focus in News Broadcasting. All throughout high school, Kyle’s favorite subjects in school were Math and Science, but since News Broadcasting contains very little of either, he will work towards a Meteorology degree on the side to incorporate more of his interests into his career.
