Culinary Arts Class Spring 2017

With the abundance of cool season produce, students in the Culinary Arts program ran into a very welcome problem- too much to choose from! Mustard greens, carrots, and other vegetables were turned into soups, stews, dumplings, and curries. Students also took a research shopping trip to Sprouts, to find out more about how food and where their food is produced, distributed, and sold. Back at school, students honed their skills of budgeting, converting measurements and scaling recipes, and continued to enjoy the spring harvest.

This spring also saw the beginning of Sky Islands partnering with Rattlebox Farm for their produce deliveries. Rattlebox Farm is very much tied into the practices and beliefs surrounding sustainable local and organic agriculture, and we are extremely excited about the new partnership!

Sky Islands is amazing because the curriculum is unlike anywhere else. It is a community that is always changing, and everyone is friendly. The teachers here are the best teachers I have had in my entire student career. I now look at the world differently than others.

I feel that the school’s messages they communicate to the students are really eye-opening, from the food we eat to the advertisements shaping us, and that we as a community can change this. I’m happy to know I’m graduating as an individual rather than a teenager clone, which would be the case at other schools.

When I first came to Sky Islands, I felt it was kind of weird because I wasn’t used to the whole idea of a school being a community, but more and more I came to the realization that this is how school should be.

Community is a huge part of Sky Islands. This school has amazing teachers, they are all fantastic, and they have taught me so much. I used to hate math more than anything because I never understood it. Now it is my favorite subject.

Sky Islands is a great place to be! Everyone is welcoming and everybody knows each other at our school. Throughout the year, we work on projects in and outside the classroom. We also learn about so many interesting topics that you don't learn about at other public schools.

My daughter graduated from Sky Islands in 2020. She studied there for 4 years of High School and it was the best decision we ever made. The curriculum there allowed her to broadened her mind and approach to more greenery and sciences. She started out very shy and and introvert and graduated more outgoing and she really bloomed at High School there. I would always refer my friends to have their students attend high school for the simple fact that they will get the education needed to go to college plus special treatment and care for each and every student.
