Departments
Environment, Natural Resources & Agriscience Cluster

The Environment, Natural Resources & Agriscience Cluster includes careers involved in producing, conserving, regulating, and insuring that the basic raw materials used for food, shelter, and comfort are the best products available for consumers.

HHS students are asked to plan a career major while in high school. The four-year plan will help students study a specific area in a career cluster. The student may change life and career goals as new knowledge and experiences are acquired.

The following are areas of specialization offered at HHS involving the environment, natural resources and agriscience:

Environment & Natural Resources

Farming/Ranching/Veterinary Science

Horticulture/Nursery Productions

Golf/Turf/Sports Field Management

Small Engine Repair

Welding

Below are the Technical and Technical Specialty courses that are part of the environment, natural resources and agriscience specializations' four-year plans.
