Culinary Arts Students Cater Event

Giving students real-life experiences is at the heart of Career Technical Education (CTE), and we excel at helping our students with that.

Today the Culinary Arts students at Cascade High School were hired to cater the breakfast for the Salem Chamber of Commerce Greeters meeting. They planned and cooked the menu, set everything up, and served over 100 people. The event was at the Willamette Career Academy. You can see more pictures on our Facebook page.

With opportunities like this, it's not hard to find things to celebrate for CTE month!
