On November 4 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. the Suffield Regional Agriscience Program is excited to welcome students interested in applying to the program into the ag facility for the First Look Open House. First Look is a yearly open house held to showcase all the amazing opportunities the Suffield Regional Agriscience program has to offer and is open to any students interested in learning about or applying to the program for the 2022 school year. This year the recruitment committee will be implementing some small changes that are going to have a big influence on the event. The first major change is that this year there will be a workshop dedicated strictly to helping students navigate the application process and how to manage their time to meet the deadlines. On top of that there will be many other small workshops sprinkled throughout the school and agriscience facility to get students accustomed to life at Suffield High School and to help them meet all the amazing people and learn about programs Suffield has to offer.
