Creekview HS Agriculture Program Earns National Award The Creekview HS agriculture program, led by teacher Pauline Benton, is one of only six agricultural education programs nationwide to earn the Outstanding Secondary/Middle School Program Award from the National Association of Agricultural Educators. The award honors agricultural education programs that “have developed and grown to encompass, at the highest levels, all aspects of the agricultural education model – quality instruction, experiential learning, and student leadership development – into their program.” The school’s Career Pathways program in agriculture began seven years ago with a focus on horticulture, but since has grown under Benton’s leadership to include equine science, veterinary science, agriculture electrification and agricultural mechanics, as well as a second teacher, Wyatt Wilkie. The program also has expanded thanks to the construction of a new agriculture science building, approved by the School Board and constructed using Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) revenue and a state grant.
