This is our current greenhouse that was constructed in 2022 and officially opened in 2023 with the help of the Sauk Prairie School District, Workforce Innovation Grant, SP FFA Alumni & Supporters and several donors.  The facility is 48′ x 60′ in size and has an automated lighting system, shade curtain and automatic ventilation system.  Currently we focus primarily on bedding plants and vegetable crops to sell, but have been expanding to work more with micro greens and raising produce for the school lunch program.  Our agriscience program also helps to maintain planting beds on the school grounds as well as the courtyard in the middle of our building. 

The greenhouse is named the Jeff Hicken Horticultural Learning Center.  Mr. Hicken was an agriculture teacher at Sauk Prairie High School from 1998-2006.  Upon his departure, he went to work for the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction as the Agriculture & Natural Resources Education Consultant as well as served as the State FFA Advisor.  Mr. Hicken passed away in 2021 and a committee was formed through the FFA Alumni & Supporters to help raise funds to construct this updated facility.  The committee was chaired by one of Hicken’s former students, BJ Chrisler.
