If we are virtual you may wish to purchase your own textbook. They are usually about $30.00 at the used book websites. The one in the classroom is: Agricultural Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications by Ray V. Herren 5th edition. I will copy some of the information and put it on Google Classroom, I suggest you get a copy if possible.
If you are currently employed, getting a job, or volunteering at some venue that is related to any of our CTE programs, you may want to enroll in our internship program at the high school to receive a high school credit while working. This can be either during or after school. To get more information please contact our guidance department or our CDC/CTE Coordinator at (828) 298-2500.
