Culinary and Hospitality

Students in the Hospitality & Culinary program spend half of their day at their high school and half of their day on campus at Johnson County Community College (JCCC) working toward a certificate or associate degree in five available areas. Coursework includes both classroom instruction preparing for multiple facets of the industry and hands-on laboratory work using industry-standard equipment and supplies in JCCC professional kitchens. Students are required to take the JCCC Accuplacer exam for both Math and Reading as a part of the application process; scores on this assessment must indicate a readiness for college coursework.

Certificate and Degree options available for students to pursue through this partnership include: 

• Chef Apprenticeship AAS
• Dietary Manager Certificate
• Food & Beverage Management AAS
• Hotel & Lodging AAS
• Pastry & Baking Certificate
