We are pleased to share some exciting news from Smith Vocational & Agricultural High School in Northampton. A recent ribbon-cutting ceremony officially opened their new companion animal building!

"Having this building open is going to give our students experience with companion animals. Dogs and cats are very popular here in our region. Our students can learn how to work with them now. It’s a great opportunity for our students."

– SVAHS Supt. Dr. Andrew Linkenhoker
