Four area high schools to hold collaborative discussion on Agri-Education
Dec. 3 event will engage local agriculture community for its input on future industry needs
Four Northeast Wisconsin high schools are coming together to hold a collaborative discussion on the future of Agri-Education. The goal of leaders from Luxemburg-Casco, Kewaunee, Denmark and Algoma high schools is to engage with the area’s agriculture community to ensure that student coursework and career-based learning meets current and future industry needs.
“Agri-Education for the Next Generation” will be held on Saturday, December 3, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Heritage/Multipurpose Room at Luxemburg-Casco High School, 512 Center Drive in Luxemburg.
The event is intended to bring the following groups together:
· Business owners, in agriculture
· Agri-education teachers and school leaders
· FFA and school alumni
· Community members
· Current students
· Parent
Our goal with this event is to create a collaborative partnership between our Kewaunee County School Districts and local agricultural businesses to ensure the best agriculture programming and career pathways for our students as they prepare for their futures. We will be encouraging participants to look at both the global and local changes that are impacting Agri-science, Agri-business and our agricultural communities to help us create a vision for the future of Agricultural Education in our communities.
