Ag Depatment's Instructional
Philosophy
Programs in vocational Agricultural/Agribusiness have been in existence for more than 70 years and have contributed extensively to the prosperity of today's society. New emphasis is being placed on the integration of academics especially in math and science. Today, Agriscience Education is a comprehensive program providing students appropiate classroom/laboratory instruction, supervised experiences, and personal development through FFA. These components are integrated so they complement each other. Programs reflecting this new emphasis have two major missions or purposes: 1) to provide knowledge and skills needed to enter and advance in agricultural careers and/or post-secondary training; 2) help students obtain important knowledge that is needed for them.
