Agricultural Education stresses the development of skills in all aspects of agricultural businesses and industries. Included in the studies are skills related to planning, management, safety, finances, and leadership.

The Future Farmers of America (FFA) is an integral part of the agricultural education program. The FFA provides all agricultural education students opportunities to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. Leadership activities enhance the experiences of the students.

To affiliate and participate in FFA activities sponsored by the state and national organizations, agriculture students must hold paid membership in the local FFA chapter at his/her high school. There are approximately 90 students who hold membership in FFA for the 2004-2005 school year.
