Culinary Arts
Culinary Arts prepares students to practice the managerial, production, and service skills used in food establishments and related food industry occupations such as chef/cook, baker/pastry chef, and hospitality worker. Students plan, select, store, purchase, prepare and serve food and food products; study basic nutrition, sanitation, and food safety; learn the use and care of commercial equipment; and practice the operation of institutional food establishments. In addition to refining these skills, students will practice serving and dining room management throughout the two-year program. Students engage in real-world experiences by working cooperatively with local business owners and various food establishments in the community. Courses are scheduled in a two-period/double block each year beginning in the 11th grade.
