Carson High School’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) students will present a three-dimensional replica of the Carson City Mint, Liberty Bell and coin press to the Nevada State Museum in a deed of gift signing ceremony inside the museum's south gallery located at 600 N. Carson Street on Tuesday, April 25 at 9 a.m.
The students, under the tutelage of CHS CTE web design teacher, Sherri Kelley, created the replicas to top the 75th anniversary cake prepared for the occasion by the CHS CTE culinary students last October.
“Nevada State Museum is delighted to receive these models of several of our state’s iconic historic treasures,” Myron Freedman, director of the Nevada State Museum, said. “The students' work is not only a testament to their skillful ability with today’s technology, but also how important it is for each generation to investigate the past for themselves, in their own way, and to creatively apply the tools of their time to research and understand what meanings history holds for them.”
The presentation ceremony will also feature floral designs created by CHS CTE agriculture students and cookies baked for the occasion by CHS CTE culinary students. CHS CTE photography students will also be represented.
CHS CTE students Makaela Bigley, Skylor Olshefsky and Zachary Vestal worked with CHS web design teacher, Sherri Kelley, to build the replica.

Brian Sandoval’s CTE initiative, providing education at industry levels in six career cluster areas, including professions in agriculture and natural resources management, business and marketing, hospitality and tourism, information and media technologies, and skilled and technical sciences.
