La Crosse Agriscience

Program overview

Established in 2023, La Crosse Agriscience provides students with an engaging, comprehensive education across the pathways within agriculture, food, and natural resources (AFNR). We utilize the three-component model, including classroom/lab instruction, SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experiences), and FFA. We currently teach courses at both middle schools and both high schools.

Mr. Brooks Lueck

Hi yall! I am Brooks Lueck, I teach Agriscience and advise FFA Central High School! I am originally from Mazomanie, Wisconsin and transplanted to La Crosse the summer of 2023. Besides FFA, I also am an assistant coach for the Central Track and Field team. I grew up being pretty active and involved in school from playing sports to being in band, choir, and drama. I like staying active, baking and cooking, reading, gardening, and watching tv and movies.
