About
Country Fair Day is an annual tradition of W.B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences, a magnet school located in Philadelphia, PA. Established in 1943, W.B. Saul offers leadership opportunities within unique classroom environments to allow students to explore content through hands-on learning. We have four majors in which students specialize in during their studies at Saul: animal science, horticulture, food science, and natural resource management. This fair day allows students, teachers, and staff to showcase all of the accomplishments and knowledge gained throughout the year.
