During the Notre Dame recent Regional High School’s Winter Extravaganza the school announced it is starting an agriculture education program for the 2025-2026 school year. An education in agriculture helps students prepare for careers in global agriculture, food, fiber and natural resource systems. The school also plans to join the Missouri Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization to give students the opportunity to explore career pathways through experiences in ag education. Notre Dame has hired Tom Hulshof of Scott County to lead the program for the 2025-2026 school year.
