Dear Teachers, Administrators and Guidance Counselors: 

Just a little reminder that the College and Career Pathway Endorsement Applications will be due on December 15th for districts who wish to apply for FY2025 endorsement. 

Because of you,  Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources endorsements increased from 0 to 158 students last year. We hope with your assistance, we can continue to increase this number and serve our students in agricultural education.

• Resources from IL Ag Education:
