Wingate High School, operated by the Bureau of Indian Education, serves students on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico. Through the project titled Roots to Rise: Revitalizing Indigenous Agriculture Through Education, students will have first-hand experience engaging in agriculture through a living classroom and greenhouse. This hands-on learning environment will equip students with real-world agricultural skills, from small-scale gardening to large-scale production knowledge, while also building their resumes with tangible work experience. Whether students choose to pursue careers in agriculture or not, they’ll leave with a foundational understanding of food systems, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.
