Both Mrs. Bravo and Mrs. Edwards have begun teaching their students about the art of cooking. All classes that both Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Bravo teach are CTE credit classes and both teachers believe leadership inside the classroom is extremely important. These classes also giving students job skills that they can use later on in life. Skills USA is involved in the class and many students involved in the classes tend to join Skills USA to further their knowledge on culinary, childhood development, and sewing.

The students in Foods are whipping up homemade chicken noodle soup, eggs, and pancakes.  This class doesn’t make food just to eat, they get to learn specific skills to help them later on in life as well. For example, Foods class learned how to properly use a knife (cutting, mencing etc.).

Culinary, on the other hand, got to explore the glorious world of cheeses and the different types of cheeses, and what better way to learn about these cheeses than a cheese tasting? Along with tasting cheese, they made a tomato pie and baked souffle, which is a heaven-like desert.

World of Foods made buffalo wings and studied sauces and how to make them correctly. They got to learn some basic baking skills and throughout the year Mrs. Edwards plans on the students understanding basic culinary skills.

Mrs. Bravo believed students Hayden Schlotfeldt, president of Skills USA, and Montserrat Frausto stood out in her classes with great participation and concentration. Mrs. Edwards also had some students who she thought were improving greatly in the classroom. Student, Whitney Latimer, caught Mrs. Edwards eye by signing up for Skills USA and student Lisa Tabares impressed her by going to competitions for Childhood Education.
