We are excited to shine the spotlight on Qyra Garrison, a remarkable individual who has demonstrated outstanding leadership, personal growth, and a deep commitment to our community during her time at Ogden. Qyra has earned her spot as Ogden High School’s April Student of the Month.
Qyra has been an active student at Ogden Community School by participating in volleyball, basketball cheer, Blue Crew, National Honor Society, and FFA. Qyra serves as a positive face in the building, always interacting with others. She has taken an impressive DMACC credit load, leading her to attain her Paraeducator Generalist Certification.
Qyra’s passion for agriculture has been a driving force in her academic and extracurricular pursuits. As a dedicated member of the National FFA Organization, she has consistently shown an eagerness to learn and share her knowledge with others. Whether it’s through speaking at local events, participating in agricultural competitions, or working hands-on with livestock, you can find Qyra actively invested in agriculture. Through her time in the Ogden FFA Chapter, Qyra has served as a local officer for three years - most recently serving as the Chapter President. In her roles she has been an active listener, role model, and driving force for all that the chapter accomplishes. Qyra has been so outstanding as a local member that she has taken her leadership role outside of Ogden by becoming the Ogden Chapter’s first North Central District FFA Officer. Through this role, she has gone across the state of Iowa to help guide others in developing their leadership skills. At the state level, Qyra has also become an Iowa FFA Degree Recipient. In order to achieve this level of degree, one must have over 25 hours in community service, be an active FFA member with leadership roles, and have documented over 300 hours in a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) Project. Qyra has gotten the opportunity to push her influence even farther than Iowa by representing Iowa on a National Level by competing in Agricultural Communications Career Development Event at the National FFA Convention.
Outside of school, Qyra is actively involved with the Boone County Fair. In 2023, she was the Boone County Fair Princess and the Boone County Cattlemen’s Princess. In 2024, she was the Boone County Fair Queen and the Boone County Cattlemen’s Queen.
Qyra is a shining example of dedication and leadership, always bringing a can-do attitude to everything she does. Hardworking and eager to learn, she never hesitates to jump in and try something new, embracing every challenge as an opportunity for growth. With a bright smile and a heart for service, she goes out of her way to help others, making a lasting impact on those around her. Her commitment to excellence and passion for making a difference extend beyond our FFA program, influencing both our local community and beyond. Qyra’s drive, kindness, and determination set her apart as a true role model.
