Culinary Arts Tech Prep/College in the High School
Culinary Arts Tech Prep enables high school seniors to earn up to nine credit hours through SUNY Schenectady County Community College (SUNY SCCC), 15 credit hours through Johnson & Wales University (transferable from SUNY SCCC), and certification through the American Culinary Federation (ACF) ACCESS program. Students who take Culinary Arts as juniors may move up to Tech Prep as seniors, or seniors may enroll in Tech Prep as a one-year course.
Students learn in the classroom, kitchen, Café Anders and the dining room. They also participate in public service events and culinary skills competitions. Career & Tech is an ACF Blue Ribbon ACCESS School.
Interested students must submit a transcript and application. (If you are unable to access a form, please notify us of the issue.)
