Our talented Culinary Arts students recently hosted a formal three-course dinner for our Accounting and Computer Information Services (CIS) students.

The goal? Ensuring our future business leaders are as sharp at the dinner table as they are with a spreadsheet or a line of code. This "dry run" helped our students polish their formal dining etiquette ahead of the upcoming Business Professionals of America (BPA) State Competition.

A huge thank you to the Culinary team for the incredible service and delicious food. We’re feeling confident, well-fed, and ready to take on State!
