Agriculture Program

Program Overview

The Agriculture Education program is designed to provide students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that prepare them for success in both college and careers. This program follows the three-circle model of agricultural education, which includes classroom instruction, FFA participation, and Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects.

Students will gain technical knowledge, develop leadership skills, and build real-world experience through a variety of activities both inside and outside the classroom. Whether working in the shop, participating in FFA events, or managing an SAE project, students are given opportunities to grow academically, personally, and professionally.

This program is open to all students and encourages involvement at all levels, from introductory courses to advanced hands-on classes.
