Mrs. Hall’s Foods classes and Mrs. Shaffer’s Hospitality & Tourism/ProStart classes partnered with community partner Dustin Rennells for a hands-on culinary learning experience!
Dustin brought his wealth of knowledge and experience from the culinary world into our classrooms with a demonstration focused on professional knife skills, techniques, and safety. Students had the opportunity to see firsthand how proper knife handling and cutting techniques are used in a professional kitchen.
We are so thankful for community partners like Dustin who take the time to share their expertise with our students and help connect what they are learning in the classroom to real-world culinary careers.

❤️🖤 Homecoming Fun & Hornet Pride! ❤️🖤
One of the very best parts of Homecoming is seeing our students—from elementary through high school—come together for the Special Olympics Homecoming Float!
Our students LOVE riding through town, waving to the crowd, celebrating Homecoming, and showing off their Hornet pride. Moments like these are a great reminder of what makes our school community so special.
A big thank you to the teachers and staff who volunteered their time and worked hard to make this experience possible for our students—we truly appreciate you.
And a special shoutout to Jeff and Kati Westcott for generously donating the straw for our float. Your support helped make the day even more memorable!
We love seeing our students celebrated, included, and having fun together. ❤️🖤
