The ASTE programs prepare students for college and careers in animal science, aquaculture, biotechnology, marine technology, natural resources, and plant science.
The ASTE programs incorporate a hands-on, active curriculum that integrates subject area skills and knowledge, applied skills in the core subjects of mathematics, science and English/Language Arts while incorporating leadership skills and work-based learning experiences through the National FFA Organization and supervised agriculture experiences (SAEs).
During 9th and 10th grade ASTE courses are exploratory, designed to prepare students for each of our 11th/12th grade science or technology pathways. Each pathway is responsive to industry trends and needs so students graduate prepared to continue their education or go directly into their chosen career.
