Katie Lindsey, an agriculture teacher and Junior FFA advisor at Mount Markham Central School, has been named a finalist for the 2025-26 Golden Owl Award.

This award recognizes agriculture teachers who have made a significant positive impact in their classrooms and communities.

She is one of 10 ag teachers recognized across New York state. The New York FFA Leadership Training Foundation, in partnership with Nationwide and the New York Farm Bureau, recognized each finalist during a statewide tour.

Lindsey was surprised by a visit from NY FFA staff and a school assembly, where she was presented with a $500 award check.
