The Agriculture Education program is designed for students in grades 10-12 in the Cape May County Technical School District. Agriculture Education prepares students for successful careers and a lifetime of informed choices in the global Agriculture, food and natural resources systems. The courses available within the Agriculture Education Program are designed to introduce the students to the fundamental principals of the horticulture industry and include Introduction to Horticulture, Landscaping, and Golf Course Maintenance. It is a three-component program that includes classroom instruction, membership in the FFA, and a supervised agriculture experience project that will prepare students for entry-level jobs within the industry or for post-secondary studies both at the county college and university levels.

The courses review many of the industries and agribusinesses associated with ornamental horticulture, landscaping, and sports turf and golf course maintenance. This program also teaches entry-level skills and students will be trained in agriculture and environmental science education. Computer skills, job seeking skills, related math, science, communication, and study skills are also included in the classwork.

The program stresses leadership, personal growth and career development through participation in the FFA, a national organization for students enrolled in Agriculture Education that represents the growing diversity of agriculture. There are over half a million members participating in a wide range of activities leading to over 300 career choices in the agriculture, food, and natural resources industries.
