COUNSELORS CORNER
Did you know? There are several benefits for students who take the Agricultural Science Career and Technical Education track at Combs High School. Agricultural Science (called Ag Science for short) is a three year program that provides students with 2 elective credits, 1 science credit, and, for students who pass the certification exam, OSHA-10 Industry Certification. This certification is proof that students have developed a safety mindset and prepares them with valuable skills that help them be more employable in the future. Additionally, our Ag students have the opportunity to work in the land lab learning about plant and animal care, and many raise their own animals to take to the county fair.
