Hello, my name is Mackenzie Church and I am honored to serve as your 2026-2027 Orange County FFA Federation Sentinel! 

I am a freshman at West Orange High School. This year will be my fourth year in FFA and my first year as a Federation officer. This organization has meant the world to me these past four years and I am so excited to give back to the community and organization that has helped me grow. Throughout my time in FFA I have developed so passion for agriculture through different events like Aquaculture and Land Evaluation (which are two of my favorite events)! This past year my SAE was an aquaponics system that I kept at school to teach my peers about aquaponics and ways to sustainably produce food. Through FFA I have also developed my love for public speaking through events like prepared public speaking and creed speaking. I am so excited to serve each and everyone of you this year and I can't wait for what this year has instore for Orange County FFA Federation!
