AG TEACHER’S CREED

I am an agricultural educator by

choice and not by chance.

I believe in American agriculture; I

dedicate my life to its development and

the advancement of its people.

I will strive to set before my

students by my deeds and actions the

highest standards of citizenship for the

community, state and nation.

I will endeavor to develop

professionally through study, travel and

exploration.

I will not knowingly wrong my

fellow teachers. I will defend them as far

as honesty will permit.

I will work for the advancement of

agricultural education and I will defend

it in my community, state and nation.

I realize that I am a part of the

public school system. I will work in

harmony with school authorities and

other teachers of the school.

My love for youth will spur

me on to impart something from my life

that will help make for each of my

students a full and happy future.
