Classes & Courses

In addition to offering the courses described below, students enrolled in the agriscience department will be members of the FFA. FFA membership is required for agriscience students to have access to online projects and for them to complete their supervised agriculture experience or SAE. The SAE is a vital part to each agriscience class as the project educates students on how agriculture fits into their daily lives. The FFA organization and agriscience department also develops students’ potential for leadership and career success as students are given opportunities to grow their citizenship and critical thinking skills.
