Westfield High School Culinary Arts students had the opportunity and honor to be the ProStart High School representative at the Indiana Statehouse as part of Hospitality Leadership Day.
The students prepared 450 samples of a signature dish: mini key lime pie cups made from scratch. In addition to the students, top local restaurants such as St. Elmo’s, Ruth’s Chris, Cunningham Group were on hand.
The Culinary Arts students got more out of the day. They met countless senators, representatives, CEOs, and Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch. Everyone was so eager to talk to the students and were beyond impressed with their professionalism. The students were excited to share about their culinary program, and they had a new experience in representing themselves in such a professional setting.
