Abstract
In this paper I take up the agricultural high school that is concerned with both agriculture and education. Making reference to the case of Shonai Agricultural High School in Yamagata, I will discuss about the role that the agricultural high school and its agricultural education have been carrying out in a district. At first, I explain the change of the agricultural education in the agricultural high school from the today’s trend of agricultural newcomers after the graduation from the agricultural high school. Namely agricultural high school is changing its educational aim from training of independent farmer's education into multifold agricultural education. Moreover the social expectation is growing day by day that agricultural education needs to be useful to solve the problems of agriculture, environment, foods, and so on. Now a new connection between a community and agriculture comes about.
