Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Right before Thanksgiving Break, Chef McIntyre polled our scholars about their holiday favorites! What are yours?

Wow wow WOW! We want to thank our amazing PTSA for their donation to the Parker Pantry. If you didn't know, the Parker pantry is our initiative to help our scholars be the best they can by supplying them with extra resources.

Studies show that if a student goes hungry, they are less likely to do well in school. At Parker we are working to remove this barrier and ensure our scholars can achieve at the highest level!

To donate to our pantry, please reach out to Chef McIntyre!

Every smile tells a story of teamwork, growth, and good food.

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at Al Dente @ The Bison Café, our student-run pasta restaurant where Culinary Arts scholars handle everything-from prepping fresh sauces and rolling dough to serving faculty with hospitality and pride.

Each week, students take on real industry roles- Chef de Cuisine, Line Cook, Expo, and more-learning what it takes to keep a kitchen running smoothly under pressure.

It's more than just cooking... it's leadership, service, and a shared passion for excellence.

Week one of Al Dente @ The Bison Café is officially in the books! Our scholars rolled up their sleeves to prep, plate, and serve a full pasta experience — complete with fresh handmade pasta, two delicious sauces, homemade focaccia, and a crisp garden salad. From classroom to kitchen, they’re getting workforce ready one service at a time. 🍝💪🏾

✨ Congratulations to our Culinary Scholars on the soft opening of “Al Dente”! ✨

For the next 8 weeks, they’ll take on the ultimate workforce readiness challenge — running their very own restaurant.

Today’s debut menu featured a creamy lemon pepper pasta, a fresh garden salad, and homemade focaccia bread 🍋🥗🍞 — all crafted from scratch by our scholars.

🍝 With such an incredible start, their talent and teamwork are proof that these future industry leaders are well on their way to greatness!
