Last week, our Horticulture Agriculture class visited the elementary school to teach students about soil and its importance. High school students applied their classroom learning by creating original children’s books on the topic, which they then used to lead interactive lessons. They presented their work to Mrs. Habowski’s 2nd grade class, helping younger students engage with science in a creative and meaningful way.

We are proud of their preparation, leadership, and commitment to agricultural education.

Yesterday, our Farm to Table and Ag Science I students explored the differences between several animal breeds through hands-on observation. Chickens, bunnies, a barn cat, and goats all made an appearance and helped bring the lesson to life.

Experiences like this build real-world agricultural understanding and give students authentic connections to the concepts they learn in class. Thank you to Andrews Acres for providing the animals for this activity! πŸ“ 🐐

During 11th period yesterday, Corporal Tobias and Trooper Beaver from the Pennsylvania State Police visited Mr. Dunn’s Criminal Justice I class for an engaging presentation on field sobriety testing and drug recognition.

Both officers are certified Drug Recognition Experts, and they provided students with firsthand insight into the skills, procedures, and responsibilities involved in identifying impaired drivers. Students asked great questions and gained valuable real‑world knowledge about law enforcement careers.

A big thank‑you to Corporal Tobias and Trooper Beaver for sharing their expertise!

Last week, students in Agricultural Science II suited up in proper safety gear and got to work in the shop. They learned and applied essential safety procedures while practicing MIG welding on real projects. With each weld, they gained practical skill, confidence using the equipment, and a clear understanding of what it takes to work responsibly in an ag mechanics setting.
