Demonstrating what he learned last year in the inaugural Introduction to Drones and GIS class, junior Ben Horne shows PA Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding and PA Representative Michael Stender how to operate the drone purchased using PA grant funds. Ag teacher Van Wagner wrote the grant after discussing with the local Agricultural Advisory Committee the benefits of done usage for local farmers and of training interested students to be part of the future work force. “I think it was good to hear what the leaders of Agriculture in the state thought about what we’re doing here at Danville High School.” Horne said. “After hearing from them I think that because of the program that was put in place last year, me and other students will have yet one more added benefit to our resume when we leave.”
