The agriculture program at Millbrook Magnet High School has been in existence since the 1970s. In the past 15 years the program has grown from two teachers and 200 students annually to three teachers with nearly 400 students in the program. The program has grown to include four Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways. The Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for the agriculture program is FFA and the FFA chapter at Millbrook Magnet High School has experienced a tremendous level of success at the state and national level. All agriculture students are members of the FFA.
