Hailey Snyder

Valedictorian

Throughout high school, I have participated in a wide range of extracurricular and leadership experiences that refect both my passion for service and my desire for personal growth. I have been actively involved in organizations such as FFA, BPA, Student Council, Volleyball, and the National Honor Society. This past year, I was honored to serve as President of both my FFA chapter and Student Council, as well as Vice President of the National Honor Society. In April, I earned my FFA State Degree—an achievement that refects years of hard work and dedication to agricultural education and leadership. Thankfully, my academic eforts and involvement have been recognized through multiple scholarships, including the Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Scholarship, the Farmer State Bank Scholarship, and the Premier Scholarship at Montana State University. I will be attending MSU in Bozeman this fall to study Fish and Wildlife Biology, where I hope to build a career focused on conservation and ecological research. Additionally, I plan to pursue a tattoo apprenticeship, combining my interest in art with my professional aspirations.
