My Project

My students often make food for their classmates, the campus staff, and the community for special occasions at school. Throughout the school year, my culinary students learn many decorating techniques and skills throughout the year. The students learn knife skills and make homemade noodles for soups and so much more. We do everything from cooking pizza to torching creme brulee.

The culinary students share what they create with our staff and community members.

We often show our campus staff how much we appreciate them by delivering homemade chicken noodle soup, mini chocolate chip bundt cake, cakes pops and other sweet treats throughout the school year.

Our goal is to make people feel welcomed at our campus and what a better way to do it than with food. As you may have guessed it, we go through a lot of supplies and ingredients. With over 100 culinary students, we always need more equipment so that all of the students to participate with learning new techniques and skills. Please consider helping my students have the needed supplies to give back to our campus and our community during special occasions.
