🌟 Investing in the Future: Bristol Aggie's $2.5M Capital Skills Grant Bristol County Agricultural High School is proud to have received a $2.5 million Capital Skills Facilities Grant from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2023. Over the last 2 years we have taken a strategic approach to update our facilities that were not completed during our renovation that was completed in 2022. This significant investment allows us to complete essential projects and purchases following our recent campus construction and renovation. Impact on Bristol Aggie: This funding enables us to: ● Address deferred maintenance projects that are critical to the safety and functionality of our campus. ● Enhance our vocational programs with new equipment and resources, ensuring our students receive hands-on, industry-relevant training. These improvements align with our mission to provide high-quality academic, specialized Agricultural vocational education that prepares our students for the evolving demands of the workforce and post-secondary education. We extend our gratitude to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for this generous support, which will have a lasting impact on our students and the broader community.

What a night to remember! Our FFA Banquet is a celebration of hard work, leadership, and growth. From honoring our outstanding members to sharing laughs (and a few tears), it is the perfect way to wrap up an incredible year. Huge thanks to everyone who made it possible—our advisors, parents, and each and every member who showed up and showed out this year. Here’s to the blue & gold, and everything the future holds! #CultivatingExcellence #BAPride #FFABanquet #FFA2025 #PremierLeadership

Juniors in Equine Science switched to Livestock and Dairy Management for the fourth quarter! First they completed daily chores and then they were learning how to score sheep and pigs body condition! #BAPride #CultivatingExecellence #Livestock #Sheep #Pigs

Workplace Wednesday! This weeks Workplace Wednesday highlight is Victoria Stefrino! Tori is a Junior co-op student who works at Palmer River Equestrian Center in Rehoboth as a farm hand intern. Her daily tasks include completing routine barn chores and assisting with lessons. She also learns many new skills in the horse industry from other workers that allow her to gain more experience when working with horses. A unique aspect of Tori’s job is teaching children and beginner adult students about life skills in horsemanship! Tori’s favorite part of the job is working with children and watching them progress, she also loves the environment. This internship benefits Tori because the work environment and the children she teaches gives her more experience in her interest of becoming an equine assisted therapist. This Internship gave her the conformation that she wanted to pursue her field of interest. Thank you Palmer River Equestrian Center for providing a unique experience for our co-op students that allow them to gain more experience in the work force! #CultivatingExecellence #BAPride #Horses #Equine #FarmHand
