Students at Churchill County High School are taking the initiative on a new campus improvement project to transform the school’s front entrance into an interactive green space. It will be designed to reflect Greenwave pride, Fallon’s roots, and hands-on learning.
The project, led by students in the school’s Plant Science program, will reimagine the front lawn into a welcoming landscape that enhances curb appeal and provides an engaging space for students, staff, and visitors. The effort is student-driven and closely tied to classroom instruction. It will be designed to highlight the spirit of the Fallon and Greenwave community.
“This space will clearly say, ‘This is CCHS,’” students involved in the project shared. “We want it to represent Fallon, Greenwave pride, and the work we do every day in our classrooms.”
According to Churchill County High School, the redesigned area will include interactive elements, thoughtfully planned landscaping, and Nevada-adapted plant species. The design is intended to be both visually impactful and functional, while also serving as a real-world learning environment for students.
Along with enhancing the campus, this project also gives students practical experience in plant systems, landscape design, sustainability, and teamwork. These skills directly align with the Career and Technical Education coursework at CCHS.
Work on the project is scheduled to kickoff over Winter Break. Students will start with picking weeds and removing old grass to prepare the area for its new design. The project will continue throughout the spring semester as students move forward with planting and design elements.
