W.B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences

Winner of the 2023 PHS Gold Medal. The W.B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences is situated on over 130 acres of pastural land in the Roxborough portion of Philadelphia. Students travel to the school on a daily basis from many of the 66 wards that make up Philadelphia -- the North East, West, South and all parts in between, sometimes traveling over two hours to get to school. That dedication is shown in both the classroom and around a campus that resembles more working farm and arboretum than urban school setting. The W.B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences is the only Philadelphia high school to maintain their own grounds as well as take part in the Philadelphia Flower Show. They hope to continue the honor of placing in the top tier amongst the colleges and universities in our educational class.
