Culinary Arts at Paradise Valley High

The Culinary Arts program prepares students to apply the technical knowledge and skills required for food production and service occupations in commercial food service establishments. Students who complete this program will possess the technical knowledge and skills to plan, select, store, purchase, prepare, and serve quality food products. Nutritional values, safety and sanitation procedures, use of commercial equipment, serving techniques, and management of food establishments will also be studied. 

Students develop leadership and community service skills through participation in a career technical student organization (CTSO) FCCLA, where they can compete locally, state, or internationally.
