Agriscience
The goal of the El Capitan AgriScience Pathways is to bring relevance to science courses by applying concepts to everyday phenomena in agriculture. Courses are designed to be hands-on with many laboratory opportunities. All Ag Science courses meet ECHS graduation and UC/CSU credit for admissions. These courses also meet CTE Agriscience pathway requirements. Courses in this pathway include:
Agriculture Earth Science
Agriculture Biology
Agriculture & Soil Chemistry
