Agricultural Structures Design and Fabrication
In Agricultural Structures Design and Fabrication, students will explore career opportunities, entry requirements, and industry expectations. To prepare for careers in mechanized agriculture and technical systems, students must attain knowledge and skills related to agricultural structures design and fabrication. To prepare for success, students need opportunities to learn, reinforce, apply, and transfer their academic knowledge and technical skills in a variety of settings.
Ag Structures Design and Fabrication is the second "shop class" that students can enroll in high school. Students will stay in the class for the duration and not leave the Ag building once class has begun. This class is "hands on" with the majority of our time being spent working in the shop or in other parts of the building. It will require a strong work ethic and cooperative attitude to succeed in this class. Not everyone has the ability to become an expert welder, but everyone has the ability to give an effort. Laziness will not be tolerated!!
