As another successful season comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who supported Mise En Place this year.

From guests who joined us for lunch service to community members who encouraged our students along the way — your support helped create meaningful opportunities for our Culinary Arts students to learn, grow, and gain experience in a professional environment.

We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for a community that continues to support career and technical education.

Thank you for an incredible season. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2027. ❤️

Community connections. Real insight.

Our Criminal Justice students recently visited Community Corrections for an inside look at the programs, services, and professionals working to support accountability and rehabilitation within our community.

Students toured the facility and met with Director Kory George to learn more about careers and responsibilities within the field.

Thank you to Community Corrections for the opportunity and experience!

These challenges pushed them to apply what they’ve learned and work through real situations together.

This is what learning in action looks like.

From automation and precision systems to problem-solving and process thinking, they’re building skills that power today’s industries—and tomorrow’s innovations.

This isn’t just learning how things work. It’s learning how to make them better.
