Academies

The Agriculture Academy utilizes a three-part model, including: membership in the National FFA Organization, a Supervised Agricultural Experience, and Classroom/Laboratory Instruction.

The FFA is a dynamic youth organization that changes lives and prepares members for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

Supervised Agricultural Experiences are individual projects that supplement classroom/laboratory instruction and the FFA. These are student-created projects. Examples can include getting a job, starting your own business, a research project, or everything in between.

The Classroom/laboratory work will be done in the classroom, shop, greenhouse, around the school, and much more.
