Today we’re proud to highlight one of our talented Culinary Arts seniors, Kiersten Buckley! Throughout their time in the Culinary Arts program, they have refined their skills in food preparation, kitchen safety, baking, plating, and teamwork — all while bringing creativity and passion to every dish they create. We can't wait to see what you cook up next!

Last week, our Service Occupations students partnered with Munnell Run Farm Conservation District to help write and prepare their upcoming newsletter. From drafting articles to editing content and organizing layouts, students used real-world communication and teamwork skills to create something that will be shared throughout the community.
Projects like this give our class hands-on experience in professional writing, collaboration, and community engagement. We’re so proud of the responsibility, creativity, and dedication they brought to the project!
