The study of Agriculture at William Penn High School focuses on three fundamental areas:
Plant Science
Plant science applies the principles of agriculture, biology, and chemistry of plant life. Connecting to our environmental science program, students combine economics, policy, and ecology in order to study ecosystems and natural resources.
Animal Science
Our animal science program emphasizes animal nutrition, animal care and how animals interact with our food systems. Through a partnership with Delaware Greenways on Historic Penn Farm, students will practice this knowledge on a living farm, adjacent to school property. Agriculture student work directly with culinary and science students in our “farm to school to table” program.
Environmental Science
Our environmental science program focuses on the interrelationships between humans and the natural world.
