</fs_content><fs_content title="Program Information" show_title="false"><div><p><strong>Agriculture Program Highlights:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">We DO NOT teach our students to become farmers.</span> Agriculture classes focus on career development within the agricultural industry and our classes are not just for rural/farm kids. Our students are interested in going into a number of fields post graduation including:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Veterinary Science</li> <li>Agricultural Business&nbsp;</li> <li>Animal Science</li> <li>Welding&nbsp;</li> <li>Food Science</li> <li>Conservation and Natural Resources&nbsp;</li> </ul> </li> <li>We are considered the Nichols Career Center (NCC) Agriculture Department. Our main classroom and lab are located at NCC, but we offer classes at Capital City High School, Nichols Career Center, Thomas Jefferson Middle School, and Lewis and Clark Middle School.</li> <li>Agriculture is considered a Practical Art. All students are required to have 1 Practical Art credit to graduate.&nbsp;</li> <li style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3 Agriculture Credits are Equivalent to 1 Science Credit&nbsp;</span></li> <li>Agricultural Education uses a three-circle model of instruction. These are classroom and laboratory instruction, leadership development, and experiential learning. The successful integration of each of these three components results in a strong program that produces well-rounded individuals who are prepared to be leaders in agriculture, business, and industry.</li> <li>A student taking an agriculture class will be exposed to many different hands-on activities in a variety of career fields. Activities may include:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Woodworking and Metal Working Projects</li> <li>Hatching Chicks&nbsp;</li> <li>Creating Floral Arrangements&nbsp;</li> <li>Dissecting the Reproductive Tract of a Pig</li> </ul> </li> <li>In order for a student to join the FFA Organization, they must be enrolled in an agriculture class.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://www.jcschools.us/cms/lib/MO01909951/Centricity/Domain/580/3-circle-model.png" alt="Classroom/Lab, FFA, and SAE" width="300" height="276"/></p></div></fs_content><fs_content title="Content" show_title="false"><div><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Courses Offered 2023-2024 School Year&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><img src="https://www.jcschools.us/cms/lib/MO01909951/Centricity/Domain/580/23-24 Classes.png" alt="Introduction to Agriculture, Advanced Animal Science, Floral Design, and Food Science" width="500" height="185"/></p></div></fs_content><fs_content title="Content" show_title="false"><div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;"><strong>For more information, contact an Agriculture Teacher:&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Rachel Longan (Lead Teacher): <a href="mailto:rachel.longan@jcschools.us">rachel.longan@jcschools.us</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Lily Grant: <a href="mailto:lily.grant@jcschools.us">lily.grant@jcschools.us</a></p></div></fs_content><fs_content title="Agriculture Education Instructors" show_title="true"><div><div>&nbsp;</div> <div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="/Page/15815">Rachel Longan</a></span></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="/Page/20510" target="">Lily Grant</a></span></div></div></fs_content>
