The Clare-Gladwin Career Center’s Culinary Arts instructor
Heidi Rocha attended the National Restaurant Association’s week-long Summer Institute
last month at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Orlando, Florida. Rocha’s
tuition to the program and her travel expenses were funded by a $1,750
scholarship she was awarded earlier this year by the association.
During her trip, Rocha completed Level 3 of the Summer
Institutes. Level 3 featured culinary topics in salads, garnishing, baking, and
desserts, as well as management topics including marketing and cost control.
The class also discussed global cuisines and sustainability.
This is the third time Rocha has received a
scholarship to attend the National Restaurant Association’s Summer Institutes.
She completed level 1 in Chicago in 2009, and level 2 in California in 2012.
Culinary Arts is one of nine career and
technical education (CTE) programs offered to local high school juniors and
seniors at the Clare-Gladwin Career Center, a program of Clare-Gladwin RESD.
Students spend half of their regular school day in CTE and the other half at their
local high school. For more information, please visit www.cgresd.net.
