It was a impressive meal, like one you might find in a fine dining restaurant. Special invited guests were treated to luncheon by some really talented chefs in the Copper Hills High ProStart program. It was part of their ProStart Culinary Showcase, and show off their skills they certainly did. The menu included mouthwatering al pastor tacos, a fancy burger, along with cream puffs and scones for dessert.

Students in the ProStart program focus on perfecting their skills in the culinary arts and restaurant management. It is a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program which connects the industry with the classroom, offering students hands-on training.

Congratulations to students in the Copper Hills High ProStart program on a very successful Culinary Showcase. Keep dishing up deliciousness!
