Specialty Crop

Students enrolled in the horticulture class learn many aspects of plant sciences, horticulture, gardening, greenhouse management, and food production as they grow vegetables, fruits, and flowers (including pollinators) in a greenhouse attached to the high school. Each spring, they sell vegetable, fruit, and flower starts, with proceeds helping to make the horticulture program sustainable. They also sell hanging baskets containing flowers.

Students in agriculture classes and FFA help to raise beef cattle and hay, improve soils, irrigate pastures, and maintain farm equipment at the 50-acre Red Devil Ranch adjacent to the school district’s bus barn.
