Courses

ROP Ornamental Horticulture

This is a course open to students seeking an advanced studies program in ornamental horticulture. This class focuses on the introduction to horticulture, plant science, plant propagation, greenhouse management and more. the students also receive training in these areas in the chapters greenhouse facility.

Ag Soil & Chemistry

This course explores the physical and chemical nature of soil as well as the relationships between soil, plants, animals and agricultural practices. students use knowledge of scientific steps as well as course content. Throughout the course, students will be graded on participation in intracurricular FFA activities as well as the development and maintenance of an ongoing Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program.

AG Mechanics

Agricultural Engineering is the first in a series of courses offered in the Mechanized Agriculture Pathway. In this course, students will study theories relating to the transfer of matter and energy through electrical, fluid, thermal and mechanical systems. They will also study the fundamentals of mechanical and structural systems and facilities. Students will explore professional opportunities in the field of agricultural engineering. Integral to this will also be the opportunity to participate in activities developed through a student leadership organization. By participating in this program, students will prepare to matriculate into post-secondary Agriculture Engineering programs such as those offered at the University of California, Davis and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Additionally, this course may be a gateway program for those students interested in pursuing a post-secondary study in mechanical or structural engineering.

AG Communications

This course primarily focuses on premier leadership, personal growth, and career success students learn how to present speeches and memorize their presentation so that they may learn how to professionally present and successfully get into the listeners thoughts.

ROP Veterinary

Science

This course is designed for the student wanting to pursue a career in veterinary science. They learn how to research and use data to keep up with an animals health and they learn basic animal care. They also learn about various animals anatomy, the nerve systm, the skeletal structure, animal nutrition, pharmacology, and more. The students discover what types of employable posiions they can gain with this knowledge.

Ag Biology

Agriculture Biology is a laboratory science course designed for the college-bound student.  The course emphasizes detailed knowledge of the biological principles of the following areas:  molecular and cellular aspects of living things, structure and function of agricultural plants and animals, physiology, genetics, plant and animal diversity, and principles of classification, ecological relationships, and animal behavior.  Students enrolled in this course are registered as members of the California Future Farmers of America (FFA) Organization.  FFA is an integral part of this class, therefore participation in the FFA and student Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects will be required and graded. 

CDE Ag 1

This class is open to students of all grades, it is a 101 class on the basics of agriscience. it prepares you for any of the following classes:  veterinary sciences, ornamental horticulture, agriculture business students, and those exploring an extended studies program in these subject areas. This course is a recommended elective for college or university bound students majoring in Agriculture, Business, or Science.

Animal Science

This course will provide the student with principles in Animal Science focusing on the area of mammalian production, anatomy, physiology, reproduction, nutrition, respiration and genetics. This course prepares those students who plan on majoring in Agricultural Sciences at a college or university. We emphasize on developing values aspirations and attitudes that promote the student's understanding personal involvement with the scientific discoveries of the future. 

AG Systems Management

This integrated class combines an interdisciplinary approach to laboratory science and research with agricultural management principles. Using skills and principles learned in the course, students design systems and experiments to solve agricultural management issues currently facing the industry. Final projects will be eligible for Career Development Event competition at FFA events. Throughout the course, students will be graded on participation in intracurricular FFA activities as well as the development and maintenance of an ongoing Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program.
