A huge thank you to Greene County Development Corporation (GCDC) Executive Director Greg Piklapp, American Athletic's Kristen Russell, and GCDC for sponsoring our 2026 Manufacturing Day Field Trip. Forty-five students started the morning with breakfast provided by GCDC and then broke into two groups.

One group traveled to American Athletic to meet with Kristen Russell and her team for a tour and an informational session. The other group met in the auditorium with Greg Piklapp to hear about job opportunities in the manufacturing industry here in Greene County and around the country. Students learned about different careers including jobs available in the data center industry. Both groups then switched.

Thank you to our multi-cultural director Sara Huddleston and instructors Jerredd Elken, Matthew Fiedler, Ethan Martin, and Maddie VanSickle for helping chaperone and coordinate our field trip.

Industrial Technology Student Project
Greene County High School Senior student, Lincoln Olsem, recently machined and fabricated a ruggedized bench vise as part of his advanced milling machine operations class. The entire project consisted of 15 different components that were machined on a manual lathe or manual milling machine before being welded together. A big shout out to our friends at Power Lift in Jefferson for donating the steel for this student project! Lincoln has made a very nice generational tool that should serve him well for years to come.

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.
