Students are introduced to the sciences, technologies, and applied practices of agriculture. Students will learn about horticulture, soil science, crop production, animal science, aquaculture, forestry, agricultural mechanics, plant science, natural resources, and agricultural marketing. Interactive computer technology provides interesting hands-on learning activities.
The first-year course is Concepts of Agriculture, which may be used as a science credit under the two-year college prep program. Plant Science and Environmental Science, as well as AgriBusiness and Entrepreneurship, are also part of this program.
AEST students may choose to participate in the National FFA Student Organization. This organization provides leadership and competitive opportunities on the district, state, and national levels. Click on the "Student Organizations" link for more information on FFA . |
