Welcome to the Agriculture Education Program at Pickens High School. You are entering one of the most diverse programs offered at our school. As a beginning student, you will be introduced to the World of Agriculture and the many directions one might choose to follow as hobbies or careers.
As an Agriculture Education Student, you will have the opportunity to participate in many hands-on activities to make learning, hopefully, fun and interesting. As a student in the program, you will be expected to participate in two important program components, FFA and SAEP both of these will be explained as a part of the class. Each of these components when combined with our class activities are what make our program so unique.
Grading for the class is fairly simple with most of the in-class activities counting as equal weight. The SAE project will count approximately 20% of the grade each 9 weeks. FFA participation will be scored and counted as a Leadership Grade. A comprehensive final exam will be given (as required) and will count 15% of the final semester grade.
