A New Discovery

 

All those puffy clouds we had on Friday led to a rather gray weekend.  I wasn't inspired to photograph anything in particular so I just got in my car and started to drive.  I ended up turning on to streets I don't normally travel on and that is how I found this place.

What caught my eye was the sculpture to the left and since the building was surrounded by a high fence, I had to get out of the car to photograph it.

The name on the building was Arizona Agribusiness & Equine Center which led me to believe this place had something to do with farming and livestock.

I did a little research and discovered that this is actually a private school with curriculum for high school grades 9 through 12.  The unique thing about it is that when students graduate, they not only have their high school diploma but they also have an Associates Degree.  That gives graduates a 2 year boost on any college degree they pursue. 

I was still curious about the name so I did some further digging and learned that within the courses are studies that allow interested students the opportunity of early preparation for careers in veterinary, animal, equine and agricultural sciences.  I had not heard of this school before so I learned something new.
