The Circle-C Market is our student-run grocery store - and Nebraska’s only strawbale grocery. It is the result of a unique partnership between the school and community. The whole community came together to bale the hay and help construct the building, which also includes a classroom for the high school business curriculum.

2023 marks TEN YEARS since the Circle-C Market opened. It is hard to imagine our community without it!

The Circle-C Market has been such a unique and innovative project that it has drawn a lot of state and national news interest. HERE is a great article about the Circle-C Market on Nebraska Public Media. It was featured in videos on PBS NewsHour, Market to Market, and in a beautiful video feature by I Love Public Schools.

Below is a slideshow of the building process.
