Cooking for a room full of strangers means cooking for allergies, preferences, and everything in between.

Our students learn to handle that on the spot, and it paid off earlier this month when a guest told us how well their dietary needs were taken care of during dinner.

From the classroom to first service! 👏

Since starting in June, our Culinary Arts students in Chef Cruz’s class have come a long way. Now in their final segment before heading to externships, they’re putting their skills into action through the Passport Series.

For their first service, students brought their training to the table and served up an impressive spread. We’re proud to see how far they’ve come and excited for what’s ahead!

So proud of our Culinary Arts students! 👏

Last week, Chef Cruz’s students had the opportunity to showcase their skills at the Dorothy Cann Hamilton Memorial, honoring the legacy of a pioneering culinary educator who helped shape generations of chefs.

It was a meaningful opportunity to put their training into practice, connect with professionals across the culinary industry, and experience the energy of working alongside one another beyond the classroom.

Our students brought their best to the event and represented Apex beautifully, and left energized and with new industry connections.

Congratulations to our students on an incredible evening!
