The Culinary Arts program offers hands-on experience gaining valuable life skills that will serve students throughout their lives. The program for both junior and senior culinary takes a holistic approach to the role food plays in our lives.

Students work collaboratively with others to plan and prepare meals. Emphasis is placed on learning cooking techniques and skills that can be applied in the students' home kitchens. Students learn about nutrition and link between eating practices and mental and physical well-being.

The programs will touch on global food systems including the environmental, social, ethical, and economic impacts. A variety of rich experiences in our local community create opportunities to learn about food stewardship, sustainability, and cultural connection. The Culinary Arts program endeavors to broaden students' understanding and appreciation of the relationship of food to the student as an individual and their larger community.
