The Casa Grande High School fish hatchery program is so successful that it has been highlighted in Japanese environmental science text books.

The Casa Grande students raise the fish from eggs to adolescence and 40,000 each year are released.
Kerrianne McCarthy, a student in the program, says “It’s a really good feeling, it makes you feel good because you kinda created life”

The Casa Grande hatchery is not the biggest in California, however it is the biggest fish hatchery in the nation entirely run by students.
