Learning Beyond the Kitchen!
Our Culinary students are learning to look at food service through a professional lens! Yesterday, students practiced identifying common restaurant violations in a variety of settings and discussing how these issues can impact food safety, customers, and the overall dining experience.
These hands-on lessons are helping our students build the knowledge and skills they’ll need for success in the culinary and hospitality industry!

Student Drop-Off & Pick-Up Safety Reminder
Spartan Families, we need your help keeping our students safe!
We have seen an increase in families dropping students off at the front of the school, which creates additional traffic and interferes with our school buses entering the bus circle. We are also seeing students crossing the street through traffic, which is extremely dangerous.
For everyone’s safety, please use the designated student drop-off and pick-up area in the back of the school and remind your student to use the designated crosswalks.
We understand mornings and afternoons can be busy, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation. Following the designated traffic pattern helps our buses move safely, reduces congestion, and most importantly, keeps our Spartans safe.
Thank you for partnering with us to make student safety a priority!
