Since the recent opening of Tiger Punch Café, the culinary arts students have been serving their creations to the Mobridge-Pollock School staff and students. Culinary arts students run the cafe to gain practical and hands-on experience in a controlled and supportive environment. This learning experience encompasses culinary skills as they also learn business and management skills like time management, cost control, customer service, and gain an entrepreneurial mindset. The funds raised will be used to enhance culinary arts students’ learning experience by purchasing new equipment and supplies, participate in culinary field trips and events, and develop community programs and outreach projects.
The Culinary Arts program of the Career Technical Education pathway for high school students is open for students – 10th through 12th graders – who are interested in pursuing a career in Tourism and Hospitality Management.
