operation, hydroponics, landscape and turf management.
The Agriscience and Natural Resources Field:
Agricultural science is a broad multidisciplinary field that
encompasses the parts of exact, natural, economic, and social sciences that are
used in the practice and understanding of agriculture. Forestry workers study
the management of forest lands, from planting to harvesting. Greenhouse workers
plant, cultivate, harvest and care for plants. In the floral industry, designers
work with various materials to make wreaths, centerpieces, corsages and
bouquets. Jobs are available in retail and home businesses. Public relations and
retailing skills are necessary in many agriscience fields. The national FFA
organization is a intra-curricular part of this program building on personal
growth and career success.
Student Organizations/Community Enrichment:
This program is affiliated with the National FFA Organization.
The FFA Organization provides a well-rounded, practical approach to learning
through classroom education, hands on in agricultural topics such as plant and
animal sciences, horticulture, forestry, and many more. Students involved in the
FFA Organization will further their skills in public speaking, how to conduct
and participate in meetings, manage finances, strengthen problem solving
abilities and assume civic responsibility. Students may also compete in areas
of expertise at the regional, state and national levels.
