Culinary Arts is a two-year program that prepares students for
careers in the hospitality industry and provides a solid
foundation for students interested in continuing related college
studies.
Students in this course will have the opportunity to study
various units such as: baking and pastry, commercial food
preparation, front end service, fine dining, restaurant
operations, and catering.
The Culinary program is aligned with the National Restaurant
Associations Pro Start curriculum. In addition, students gain
hands on experience in a state of the art kitchen and engage in
work-based learning and leadership by catering special events,
luncheons, dinners and completing an internship experience at a
local restaurant, bakery, hotel or food service facility at the
end of their senior year.
