A heavy emphasis will be on hands-on and laboratory-based learning, with many activities being connected directly to science and mathematics concepts. Students will learn to solve problems, conduct research, analyze data, work in teams, and take responsibility for their work, actions, and learning. Students will also be introduced to the National FFA Organization through leadership development, participating in career development events, and the implementation of a supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program.
