PRE-TECH PROGRAM: INTRODUCTION TO AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES

This is a year-long course, meeting on alternating days, where students learn about plant and animal sciences, including forestry, food production, livestock management, and soil/water conservation practices. Students will participate in the operation of the “Deep Roots Farm” and the “HCC Sugarworks” facilities, where a deep understanding of food production and land management practices will be developed. Although emphasis is placed on field work, students are required to apply critical reading and writing skills throughout the curriculum as well as foundational principles of science and math. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the FFA Horse/Dairy Judging Career Development Event. Leadership training through FFA (ffa.org) is an integral part of this course. Students will have the opportunity to be an FFA officer and learn how to run meetings and develop public speaking skills
