Tech Campus Students Get A Taste Of A Future In Food
Food is their jam…and Stevenson students Destin Chagoya (pictured in the photo, left) and Sebastian Gonzalez (pictured middle), are quickly moving up the “food chain” in the Hospitality and Culinary Management program at the Lake County High Schools Technology Campus.
With the support of Yolanda Pilch (pictured right), both are pursuing their goals of becoming a chef in a professional kitchen.
The program provides students with technical skills in food production and food operations while also preparing them for managerial positions in the hospitality industry. This training can lead to future careers as a chef, cook, baker, pastry chef, supervisor, or manager.
As part of their post-secondary planning, Chagoya, a junior, took Food Prep while Gonzalez, a senior, took Food and Nutrition, Food Prep, and Gourmet Foods. Both students have already begun learning culinary vocabulary, formal kitchen procedures, including sanitation and food storage, and kitchen safety.
