Culinary Explorers

Our Culinary Explorers program for 2025-2026 finished last week with a competition! Most of the competitors were seniors who competed for our scholarship opportunity. First prize and a full tuition to our culinary program at Jefferson State went to Mr. Jacob Lee of Pelham High School, and the runner-up one semester scholarship to our program went to Ms. Emma Davis of Helena High School! Congratulations, Explorers!!! We enjoyed getting to know you all this past year, and look forward to getting to see you next year, either in the next Explorers program for our underclassmen, or the graduates who will be in our classes!

Photo dump from the Explorers Field trip last month. We would have taken more pictures, but we were having too much fun enjoying the great food and atmosphere at Ross Bridge Resort & Spa!

Our Culinary Explorers had a most festive Christmas cookie decorating contest this month. All of the entries were judged and given high remarks, but there were only 3 who could make it to the top. Congratulations to our winners on their creativity and skills!
1st Place: Quinn Garner of Pelham H.S.
2nd Place: Emma Claire Davis of Helena H.S.
3rd Place: Josie Tubbs of Evangel Christian
