• Agriscience  

    AgriScience provides students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience within the field of agriculture, including: greenhouse management, floriculture, plant science, food science, and biotechnology. The AgriScience program follows the Curriculum for Agricultural Science (CASE) Plant Pathway. Once completing the CASE Plant Pathway, students can graduate with college credits determined by articulation agreements. The diversity of this course, along with their involvement in the FFA (ffa.org), will prepare students for employment within the field of agriculture or to continue on to college.
