FFA

The FFA is an intracurricular student organization for those interested in agriculture and leadership. It is one of the three components of agricultural education. FFA students "learn by doing." Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs) provide hands-on learning that teaches through entrepreneurship, internship or job placement; research or experimentation; and exploring new career opportunities.

4-H

The 4-H is a youth development organization that began in the United States in 1902. We are fortunate to be the only high school Agriculture program in South Carolina to have our own 4-H club within a high school with officers. Most 4-H clubs meet with their 4-H club leaders at extension offices in their county. The 4-H stands for head, heart, hands, and health. Our motto is to make the best better.
