Intro to Construction class has spent time learning the basics of framing, roofing, and other skills needed to be successful in construction. Now the students are ready to put that learning into practice. The class is looking for 2 buyers for sheds to be built by the class. The class can also build a little kid playhouse like the one at the Little Ram Preschool on the North side of the high school.
The shed will include:
Built on skid for easy moving
House framing
Shingled roof
Plywood siding ready to be painted
Wooden door
Available options:
Choose your size! Max size of 10'x10'
Choose your color!
Add windows
Add walk in door
Add roll up door
If you would like to purchase one of the sheds please fill out the interest form below. The interest form will close September 18th at noon. Customization of sheds needs to be expressed in the interest form. The class, Mr. Martin, and the building administration will review all interested buyers and be in contact.
The buyer will be in charge of transportation of the shed from GCHS.
Any questions can be directed to martine@greenecountycsd.net
Photos are from last year's builds.

Greene County High School student Wyatt Babcock recently took advantage of a newly created High School course, Advanced Manufacturing, to design and fabricate a custom drain hole cover for his home workshop. As part of the Advances Manufacturing class Wyatt learned how to program and operate a computer controlled plasma cutter that was used to fabricate the drain cover of his own design.

🎉 2026–2027 Greene County Career Camps are OPEN for registration! 🎉
We are excited to bring Career Camps back for another year! These hands-on learning opportunities are made possible through our partnership with Greene County 4-H 🧑🔬🧑🍳🔧🎨
📚 How Career Camps work:
• The first camp of each month is for youth in grades 1–3
• The second camp of each month is for youth in grades 4–8
• NEW this year: If there is only one camp offered that month, it will be open to grades 1–8
• 💰 Cost: $10 per camp
• 🚌 Transportation is available from Greene County Elementary and Middle School to the Career Academy
📩 To register: Email Samantha at hardaway@iastate.edu
There are no registration limits for youth, but we encourage families to think about what their child would be most interested in rather than registering for every camp. This helps ensure that as many Greene County youth as possible have the opportunity to participate and explore new careers! 💚
We can't wait for another great year of exploring careers, learning new skills, and discovering what the Greene County Career Academy has to offer! 🌟

INFORMATION REGARDING LINDUSKA FIELD PRESS BOX
Good afternoon,
I wanted to inform everyone about significant damage and theft that occurred at the Linduska Field press box in the early morning hours of July 29.
At approximately 3:50 a.m. on July 29, the press box at Linduska Field was broken into and extensively vandalized. A number of critical components were damaged, disconnected, or stolen, including equipment associated with the stadium lighting, audio system, scoreboard, and press box technology. Among the damaged or stolen equipment were the Musco lighting cabinet and showlights display controls, components of the audio system, fiber connections serving the scoreboard and outdoor speakers, microphone-system cabling, computer equipment, a monitor, and a KVM switch.
The district currently estimates the total damage and replacement costs to be approximately $25,000 although that figure may change as the full extent of the damage is assessed and replacement needs are determined. This incident has created challenges for the district and may directly impact our ability to provide some of the technology and production capabilities normally available at our home football games. At this time, the district may not have all of the necessary technology operational for our first home football games of the season.
Our technology team continues to work with our vendors and technology partners to obtain replacement equipment and restore these systems as quickly as possible. Our athletic events are an important part of the Greene County community and we recognize the impact this situation may have on students, families, athletes, coaches, staff, and fans. Our priority is to minimize the disruption to our students and provide the best experience possible while we work through the necessary repairs and replacements.
I appreciate the patience and support of our community as we address this situation. Further information will be shared in the coming days as we learn more about the extent of the damage, the timeline for repairs, and the impact on upcoming events. I am continuously grateful for the staff, partners, and community members who are helping us respond to this incident. If you or anyone else may know of any information that may lead to the apprehension of those who are responsible for this, please contact the Jefferson Police Department or the Greene County Community School District. We would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Brett Abbotts, Superintendent
Greene County CSD
