About the Burbank Agricultural Sciences (BAS) Program

BAS

    Do YOU...
    Enjoy science and nature classes?
    Want to work with plants, animals and fish?
    Like to plant vegetables?
    Want to be a veterinarian?

GROW your dream job by exploring careers in Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources. Burbank opened in 1937 on the site of a farm with a focus on agriculture education, specifically animal and vegetable production. Today you will learn how to create your own business, grow and sell vegetables, plants, and flowers and raise small animals such as goats, lambs, and pigs. You can earn college credit in high school and get a jump start on college and a career. Over 200 career opportunities exist within this pathway and they increase with advantages in technology. Many components of agriculture are involved in every part of our daily lives from the food we eat, to the clothes we wear and the air we breathe. Get involved and explore opportunities to make your world a greener place to live, work and play.

BAS Courses
The agriculture science courses in Texas recently underwent an extensive realignment and sequencing to better prepare students for the future.  The Burbank Agricultural Science Magnet Program (BAS) will offer courses in 2 strands including Animal Science & Plant Science. We will be extending to Applied Agriculture Engineering in the 2024-2025 school year.

Download the documents below to view the descriptions of courses offered in each of the new systems.  Please give us a call if you have questions as to which system would be the best fit for you!

The Animal Science program of study focuses on the science, research, and business of animals and other living organisms. It teaches CTE learners how to apply biology and life science to real-world life processes of animals and wildlife, either in laboratories or in the field, which could include a veterinary office, a farm or ranch, or any outdoor area harboring animal life. Students may also research and analyze the growth and destruction of species and research or diagnose diseases and injuries of animals.

4 years within the Animal Science Pathway will include the following courses:

9th grade 10th grade 11th grade 12th grade
Principles of Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources Livestock Production
Veterinary Medical Application Advanced Animal Science OR Practicum in Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources

Principles of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources will allow students to develop knowledge and skills regarding career and educational opportunities, personal development, globalization, industry standards, details, practices, and expectations. Students will be prepared to choose an agriculture pathway aligned to their educational and career goals at the end of their freshman year. 

In Livestock Production, students will acquire knowledge and skills related to livestock and the livestock production industry. Livestock Production may address topics related to beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry.

Veterinary Medical Applications covers topics relating to veterinary practices, including practices for large and small animal species.

Earn the Elanco Fundamentals of Animal Science Certification

Here at Burbank High School, we are working to build our animal ambassadors to include livestock for students to get to interact with not only at the high school level, but for ALL of our SAISD students. We are looking to expand our animal selection to include a wide variety of species for students to engage in learning with. All animals are housed and cared for by Burbank Agricultural Sciences Staff and students. 

**Some of our animals were purchased through H-E-B – San Antonio Foundation for Educational Excellence, Inc. grant to grow to new areas of animal care and exposure that we can continue long into the future. 

**Some of our animals were donated by the community
