Our students come to us from a variety of ethnic cultures. We serve a population of students with over 30% coming from low-income socioeconomic backgrounds. Our middle school serves over 1200 students. My students include special needs, ESL, and 504 students with a variety of accommodations.
We are Texas strong and a community that sticks together and helps our fellow neighbors and friends.
Our students continually give back to the community through service learning projects. They work hard to provide food, clothing, and toys to those in need, to clean up our roads with trash pick up, and to perform music concerts for our local retirement home.
My Project
You need the right tools for the right jobs. My 7th and 8th grades are just being introduced into the culinary world.
I am a professionally trained chef teaching at the middle school level, training students to become future chefs.
I need your help in transforming an outdated and run down kitchen into a junior culinary school.
I teach my students food safety, knife skills, and how to cook and bake. We do amazing things in both levels of our culinary classes. At this time, we have tables that are worn down and partially broken. We need to change the footprint of the room with movable, strong stainless steel tables for the students to work on. We have chili cook offs, gingerbread competitions and sometimes our junior chefs become the executive chefs and teach the adults in our community. Please consider helping my culinary classes to transform their kitchen into a culinary master piece!
