Magnet Description
Enrich life through Agriscience! Through participation in the Agriscience Academy program, students will understand and contribute to the future of agriculture and human life on our planet. Students enrolled in this magnet will develop a deeper appreciation for plant and animal life and will strive to safeguard them. Our magnet program is built upon basic Agriculture curriculum yet goes well beyond this scope by promoting more in-depth study through the use of technology. The program offers two pathways for students: (1) Plant Life and Biotechnology with the opportunity for dual enrollment in the Horticulture program at Valencia College and a student internship with the local University of Florida Research Center; and, (2) Animal Husbandry with the incorporation of technology leading to a career in animal care or veterinary science. Both pathways allow students to seek Industry Certification related to either plant or animal life.
Please note that bus transportation is not provided for this program.
Specific Eligibility Requirements: Applicant’s schedule must be able to accommodate magnet classes; a 2.5 GPA is recommended.
