🚀💡 Future Careers in Action at Community High School! 💡🚀
Recently, students in #CommunityHighSchool's JAGTN classes, led by instructor Monica Lewis, got a real-world look at the hiring process, thanks to an amazing presentation by Kennedy Honey and Laura Zontek from Cooper Steel.

Mrs. McCarty Agriscience students have been hard at work designing their own plant production systems! Each student created a detailed plan that included plant layout, irrigation design, and pest management practices.
This hands-on project helped them apply what they’ve learned about greenhouse systems, crop management, and sustainability — all while using creativity and critical thinking to plan efficient agricultural systems.
