The CCPS Garden Program was founded in 2022 and serves our school community from grades 6-12 in curricular support, coyote pack time, and after-school programming. We maintain our school garden, while also experimenting with hydroponics, propagation, seed-starting, and other areas of student interest all through the lens of Permaculture.
Garden Club meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15-5:00.
Garden Pack is part of our weekly school programming, taking place from 1:30-3:00 every Wednesday.
Cultivating Healthy Coyotes is an initiative we are undertaking for the 2026-27 school year. In partnership with local businesses and nonprofits, we will provide weekly garden-based education to students in 6th and 7th grade advisory classes with the goal of improving community health outcomes, building community, and fostering stewardship for our environment.
