The plants in the greenhouse are not the only ones blooming and growing. Greenfield-Central High School offers agriculture classes and a chapter of the National FFA Organization, with a rich 56-year history of helping teens prepare for their futures, according to a press release from GC schools.
For teacher Calista Overman-Sorrell, the growth in her students is even more exciting than the annual tradition of opening up the "hidden gem" greenhouse, located behind the high school.
The greenhouse is open for sales of indoor and outdoor plants, raising money for the FFA chapter's travel expenses to local and national events.
Overman-Sorrell is in her second year as teacher at GCHS, and was a graduate of the Greenfield-Central program herself. Her mother was also involved in the FFA, and she enjoys pulling out old school photo albums dating back to even the Hancock Central days.
