Food Friday! Did you know that CPSD has a Culinary Arts program through the Conway Area Career Center? The Career Center hosts this opportunity for not only Conway students but for students from 12 surrounding school districts. Recently our Culinary Arts students had the opportunity to learn from our local Charcuterie business, Harvest & Graze, on different types of delicious foods to use as well as incredible techniques to provide a display pleasing to the eye! The students did an amazing job at using their creative culinary skills to design their own charcuterie graze box! Thank you to high school teacher Ms. Tell and team for providing these opportunities of learning valuable skills for our students!

It is wrapped up in several core values: Students First - this is for them. Staff Committed to Excellence - teamwork between departments. Cultivating Community Relationships - First Security Bank sponsored the project." - Mr. Nathan Cunningham
