A complete list of our classes is found here for this school year. In addition to a traditional classroom, we currently have resources that include a greenhouse, dedicated space within our shop for engines and welding, a test plot with a local farmer as well as a partnership with a local business that hosts 10 acres for the ag teacher to grow our own popcorn as well as manage other producers. Our Ag Program is supported by an outstanding FFA Alumni Association, faculty, administration and communities. Our current FFA members have earned multiple state awards and work throughout the year to have an outstanding chapter.
