Agriculture Department

     Delta High School is the only school that has an Agriculture Department in Delaware County. There are more than 200 students that participate in the Ag Department.

      It includes classes such as Greenhouse, Ag Mechanics, Animal Science, Landscaping, Natural Resources, Small Engines, and Welding.

     Agriculture Department teachers Matt Lyons and Nancy Kunk co-sponsor the FFA, which involves about 50 students. These students participate in National FFA week petting zoo, county fair young McDonalds Farm, Adopt a Highway, and Albany Halloween parade. FFA members also participate in contests such as soil judging, small engines, welding, Horse and Pony, Crops, Forestry, landscaping, mechanics, livestock, and dairy.

     The Ag Department provides opportunities for students who want to be in agriculture-related careers the experience they need to go to college and other places. The department maintains its own greenhouse, which helps with the flowers and landscaping of the school.
