Celebrating a Year of Growth and Achievement! 🎉

Students in the STEEL Program recently showcased all they’ve accomplished throughout the 2025–2026 academic year during the End-of-the-Year Showcase.

Each student created a personalized display highlighting their unique strengths, skills, goals, and vision for the future. Guests also had the opportunity to see students put their hospitality and culinary training into action as they helped prepare the event space and served refreshments they created themselves, including charcuterie cups, veggie dip cups, and dessert cups.

The evening was a wonderful celebration of growth, independence, and the bright futures ahead for our students. Thank you to the families, friends, and supporters who joined us in recognizing their success!
