We sure are going to miss our graduating adults Tom, Jared, & Ian! They had their final yesterday. A “Chopped” challenge! They each had pork belly, sweet potato, brussel sprouts and crystallized ginger and 40 minutes to make their dish! They did fantastic! While they were busy with their final, the 12th graders baked them an assortment of “goodbye goodies!” What a great send-off for 3 amazing students! Good luck in your next chapters in life! We know you will each do amazing things!!

Our 11th graders knocked their Caribbean lesson out of the park with their jerk grilled whole tilapia and pineapple mango salsa!

Our 9th & 10th grade class is learning all about the 5 mother sauces! Last week was Velouté! They made pan-seared chicken breast filets with a chicken velouté! Great job, all!

CONGRATULATIONS to Ava Reiners for her 2nd place SILVER medal 🥈 win at the Florida SkillsUSA state championship competition! We are SO PROUD of you!!
