My boys are a great pleasure. I hope that they leave with better skills than what they came in with. Primarily they do horticulture, work in the greenhouse and work with outside tools. The animal side opens a door for students to learn how to care for animals, and clean and use tools. As a reward, they get to spend time with the animals as well, which include chickens, ducks, goats and pigs.
Field trips are also available depending on time and weather.
Attitude is everything here, if you're not positive here, it's not going to work. The important thing here at this school is that they compile group projects. By combining all the skills acquired, a variety of novelty items are available for not only the district but for the general public to buy. Carlos Hernandez, father of student Jose Hernandez, says that he is impressed with the program, especially the teachers and the aides. Future endeavors are on the horizon for all the students at the Occupational Center.
