CTE Month Highlights...Culinary Arts with Mrs. Powell
Culinary Arts begins with the fundamentals and principles of the art of cooking and the science of baking and includes management and production skills and techniques. Students can pursue a national sanitation certification or other appropriate industry certifications. Courses are offered as a classroom and laboratory-based course. The lab gives students hands-on experience cooking, cleaning, managing the kitchen, and other essential jobs to the industry. People are often surprised to find that there is much, much more that goes into working in the culinary industry than just cooking. While students get to spend plenty of time cooking (and eating) delicious food, they also learn management, planning, sanitation laws, and essentially how to run a business, which is what our CTE program is all about.

CTE Month Highlights...Teaching & Training with Mrs. Powell!
The Education and Training Career Cluster focuses on planning, managing, and providing education and training services and related learning support services. In the first year, students use self-knowledge as well as educational and career information to analyze various careers in Education and Training. In the 2nd year, students examine human development across the lifespan including common physical, cognitive, emotional, and social developmental milestones. In the 3rd and 4th years, students complete an internship in a lower level classroom (elementary or junior high) where they learn to plan and direct individualized instruction and group activities, prepare instructional materials, develop materials for educational environments, assist with record keeping, and complete other responsibilities of teachers, trainers, paraprofessionals, or other educational personnel.
