Hospitality: Restaurant & Foods/Beverages
MMSD Career pathways are a series of connected education, experiential learning, and support strategies aimed at helping students personalize and achieve their own educational and career goals.
The Culinary Arts Program of Study offers a sequence of courses specifically designed to prepare students for employment and post-secondary options in restaurants, food and beverage services, travel, tourism, and other related industries.
The earlier a student begins this sequence, the more opportunities they will have to explore fully educational and community options available. Course fees may vary at the high schools.
