What a great first week of classes, from first-year classes taking tours and learning what to expect in the lab to second-year students starting to cook away. The first week is always filled with excitement for the semester ahead. Looking forward to seeing all the growth and development from the students this semester. Let’s cook up a great semester!! , ,

A new school year is just around the corner, and we're getting everything ready in the Culinary Lab! One of our newest additions is our hydroponic garden, where fresh herbs will be grown right in our classroom.

This hands-on learning experience will allow our students to experience the farm-to-table journey firsthand while incorporating fresh, locally grown ingredients into their culinary creations. We can't wait to see what this school year brings and all the delicious dishes inspired by our garden!

There's still time to join us! Enrollment for the Fall Semester is still open, and we'd love to welcome aspiring culinarians who are ready to build culinary/pastry skills, explore innovative techniques, and learn in a real-world kitchen environment. Don't miss your chance to grow with us; register today!

Here's to a year of growing, learning, and creating!

It was an emotional day as the students completed their last course and kitchen cleaning. The signing of the menus is always a great way to bond and leave a lasting impact on generations of students to come. Thank you all for your dedication and attention to detail!
