Greene County High School Adds Fourth-Axis Capability to CNC Milling Machine, Giving Students Advanced Manufacturing Experience
The Industrial Technology Department is expanding its hands-on manufacturing education program with the addition of a fourth axis to its CNC milling machine. The upgrade will provide students with valuable experience using technology found in modern manufacturing environments while expanding the types of projects they can design and produce.
A traditional three-axis CNC mill moves a cutting tool along the X, Y, and Z axes. A fourth axis adds rotary movement, allowing students to rotate a workpiece during the machining process. This additional capability gives students an opportunity to learn more advanced CNC programming, setup, design, and manufacturing techniques.

Our first Career Exploration Camp of the year is in the books! 🧱💻
We had 12 youth attend our Computer Science Career Camp where they explored computer science through LEGO! 🤖 Youth used the design engineering process to bring their creations to life, learned about coding sequences, explored STEM careers, and finally coded their LEGO creations to see what they could do! 🧠🔧
It was an afternoon full of creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning! 🌟
We can't wait to see what our Career Camps have in store for the rest of the year! 🎉

Greene County Community School District would like to extend a big thank you to Doug Hawn for stepping up to help Greene County Schools last Friday night!
Early Friday afternoon, the Linduska Field sound system went down, and Doug responded on very short notice, quickly providing speakers so we could have a working sound system for the football game that evening. He also helped set everything up before the game and tear it all down afterward - and the system sounded great!
We’re incredibly appreciative of Doug’s willingness to help when we needed it most, as well as the many ways he supports our district behind the scenes.
Thank you, Doug, for your generosity, quick response, hard work, and continued support of Greene County Schools!
We want to make our fans aware that we are experiencing degraded audio at Linduska Field that may impact the sound quality during tonight’s game.
We are working to resolve the issue, but some audio disruptions may still be noticeable throughout the evening.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you for your continued support of Greene County Schools!

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! 🌟
