With the addition of Vocational Agriculture to the La Porte ISD curriculum in 1976, the need for a supportive group of citizens became apparent. Through the efforts of David Brady, Al Blackford, and Gene Brassell, an association was formed and David Brady was elected president.

The first activity engineered by the association was a Play Night held at Lomax in the fall of 1976. The proceeds from this function were used to finance the La Porte FFA's first annual show and auction in March 1977. In conjunction with the show, the association sponsored a rodeo, carnival and barbecue. Since that time, many new activities have been added to raise funds for the FFA Chapter and 4-H Club which was organized in 1991.
