Up to 2.5 credits are awarded for grades 10, 11 & 12 while grade 9 meets for 225 minutes per week and students are awarded one credit. Work experience is a required part of the program and all students in 10th – 12th grades are expected to secure a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) that will help them develop the skills and knowledge taught in their classes.
Each student must fulfill all requirements of Nonnewaug High School. All students are encouraged to select classes that are challenging and that will prepare the student for future needs.
