AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION PROGRAM OF STUDY: Animal Science Systems Pathway, Agricultural Power, Structural, Technical Systems Pathway, and Horticulture Pathway

Teachers:  Cole Wills and Langdon Winburn

Within the Agricultural Education Program of Study, Powell County High School offers three pathway choices including Animal Science Systems, Agricultural Power, Structural, Technical Systems, and Horticulture and Plant Science Systems.  Students enrolled in any of the pathways under the Agricultural Education Program of Study may  participate in the agriculture career and technical student organization, The National FFA Organization.

 

The Animal Science Systems Pathway focuses on the scientific principles that underline the breeding, care and management of agricultural animals and the production, processing and distribution of agricultural animal products. This includes developing better, more efficient ways of producing meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products.

Animal Science (DC Option)

Veterinary Science (DC Option)

Agriculture Employability Skills

Agricultural Education Co-Op (Optional)

 

The Agricultural Power, Structural, Technical Systems Pathway is built on the application of concepts in engineering, hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics, power, structures, and controls to the field of agriculture. Students design agricultural structures as well as machinery and equipment, while utilizing safe practices of operation and maintenance.
