the kids are given a choice
between the general or
academic curriculum, along
with their introductory
courses in agriculture, such
as meat cutting, livestock
science, crop science,
floriculture, landscape, soil
science, laboratory animal
science, and others.
During their last two years
at Saul, the students
specialize in the field of their
choice, he added.
Hall recalled that when he
graduated from Saul High

Now, he pointed out, about 65
percent of the graduates get
into agriculture.
This success story for the
city’s agricultural students

The Walter Biddle Saul
High School teachers are

slowly but surely,” said
Hall. “The teachers want to

“Where are you from?”,
don’t raise your eyebrows
and step back if the answer
comes back “Philadelphia”.
