Program Description

If you love to cook or have a strong desire to work in the food industry, join the ranks of chefs from around the world to create meals that are unforgettable. Our nationally ranked Culinary Arts & Hospitality program will get you started, help you find a college culinary program, and set you up for future success.

In this program, you will learn traditional French culinary terminology and participate in creative projects throughout the year. You will also have the opportunity to create and present your own recipes to selective judges and participate in many culinary competitions such as SkillsUSA, ProStart and Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA).

As the only Michigan high school program to operate a food truck, The Fresh & Furious, you also get an entrepreneurial experience. You will learn how to order supplies, manage money, set up for an event, serve clients, and manage restaurant and catering operations.
