Teaching Turfgrass Science
In the High School Classroom


Do you know a teacher who is interested in incorporating turfgrass management into their curriculum? Turfgrass management is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States with steadily growing demand for technically trained management personnel, and an early introduction to the field could open a world of career possibilities to high school students.

Our Teacher Professional Development Workshop on Turfgrass Management is an opportunity for ag teachers to access TEKS-aligned curriculum, learn professional turf management tools, and explore turfgrass careers.
