🔄 Transformation Tuesday: From Student to Success! ✨

FCTC Culinary Arts graduate Chef Leah, Class of 2023, is now the Assistant Kitchen Manager at Crème de la Cocoa! 🎓➡️👩‍🍳

When she returned to campus to speak with our Culinary Arts students, she encouraged them to “Value your time at FCTC and take full advantage of everything it has to offer.”
Chef Leah is a great example of how FCTC prepares students with the skills, confidence, and real-world experience they need to succeed in the workforce.

Her current boss, Food Network-featured Chef Nils, summed it up perfectly: “We knew Leah was great the first week!” Her success is a testament to the quality training and education at FCTC and the strong foundation it provides for careers in the industry.

We’re proud of you, Chef Leah! 👏

🏫 It’s looking SO good!

The transformation of the historic Hastings High School continues, and it’s exciting to see this beloved building coming back to life! Landscaping is going in, the front parking lot is paved and striped, and the entire property is really starting to come together.

And what’s happening inside may be even more exciting. ❤️

The historic campus is becoming a new First Coast Technical College campus in Hastings, creating the potential for expanded education, career training and workforce opportunities right here in our community. FCTC offers career and technical education designed to prepare students for in-demand careers, along with adult education and workforce support programs.

One of the first exciting additions is the Early Childhood Center Hastings, opening in January! The center will bring high-quality early learning opportunities closer to home for Hastings families, with experienced St. Johns County School District educators, a comprehensive curriculum and a focus on preparing children for kindergarten and lifelong learning.

For information about the Early Childhood Center and enrollment, contact:

📞 Amber Veniard: 904-547-3329

📍 6195 S. Main Street, Hastings, FL 32145

There is something especially meaningful about seeing a building that educated generations of Hastings residents being restored to serve another generation of students, families and our local workforce.

We’re excited to watch the next chapter of the old Hastings High School unfold — and to see the new opportunities it brings to Hastings! ❤️
