Agricultural Education provides training to students interested
in agriculture and natural resources using agricultural science and
agricultural business management principles. Students learn in a
hands-on setting about plant and animal science, soil and environmental
science, food science, woodworking, welding, FFA leadership, and
parliamentary procedure.
"The FFA and Agricultural Education program helped
me to grow not only as a person, but as a leader, and community member.
This program has helped me to experience so many opportunities and
networking possibilities that I wouldn't have
been able to do in just high school alone. This program helps leaders
find motivation to lead the next generation." — Kelly

Supervised Agricultural Experience
The Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program gives students
the opportunity to learn about agriculture in real-life settings
outside of the school day. Students will complete a year-long exploration
of agricultural careers or fields of interest by conducting hands-on
research and/or projects. SAE programs may include, but are not limited
to: raising animals or plants, job placement, conducting research
projects, job shadowing, computer-based research, interviewing,
mentorships, field trips, or attending presentations about agricultural
occupations. Each student will design his/her SAE program around
his/her interests and will work with the instructor to determine
how the program will be graded.
Agriculture
Education is offered at Edgewood, Ross, and Talawanda.
Student
Organization
As club members, students can develop their leadership skills; compete at local, state and national levels; travel, and have lots of fun! Club activities include officer elections, meetings, fundraisers, service projects and social events. Career-technical student organizations are a wonderful way to build a resume while meeting new friends and having a great time.
All Agricultural Education students are members of The
National FFA Organization. |
