The Agricultural Education program is built on the core areas of classroom/laboratory instruction and supervised agricultural experience programs.

      Classroom/Laboratory Instruction –instruction in and about agriculture that utilizes a “learning by doing” philosophy.

      Supervised Agricultural Experience Programs – all students are expected to have an agriculturally related work-based learning experience while enrolled in agricultural education courses.

The Agricultural Education program also employs the following strategies:

·     Community-Based Planning – involvement of the school administration and community in the planning and coordination of the program is essential to success.

·      Professional Development – agriculture teachers take advantage of opportunities for professional development and growth.

·      Partnerships – the development of alliances with community and business leaders are essential for program success.

·    Marketing – every agricultural education program needs a successful marketing strategy in place to attract and retain students and the support of the community that is being served.
