Agricultural science education is a systematic program of instruction available to students desiring to learn about the science, business, and technology of plant and animal production and/or about the environmental and natural resources systems. Agricultural science education first became a part of the public education system in 1917 when the U.S. Congress passed the Smith-Hughes Act. Today, over 800,000 students participate in formal agricultural science education instructional programs offered in grades seven-adult throughout the 50 states and three U. S. territories.

   Florence students are provided opportunities for leadership development, personal growth, and career success. Agricultural education instruction is provided through classroom and laboratory instruction, supervised agricultural experience programs and student leadership organizations.

   Here at the Florence High School Ag department we take pride in providing our students with the best opportunities possible in all aspects of agricutlural education and agricultural career opportunities.
