Teaneck High School Debuts Renovated Culinary Lab

The following news was submitted by Marisa M. King, Supervisor of Social Studies, Business and Practical Arts at the Teaneck Public Schools: 

On Wednesday, March 28, celebrated the grand opening of its newly renovated, state-of-the-art culinary lab.

The Teaneck Public School district, in partnership with Bergen Community College, received grant funding from the U.S. Department of Labor-Employment and Training Administration. This grant combined with district funding enabled the district to make major renovations to the existing kitchen.

These renovations included the purchase of a new freezer, work tables, cabinetry, ovens, microwaves, and a walk-in refrigerator. To further expand the high school culinary electives, the upper level culinary courses were aligned to the cooking, hospitality, and restaurant management courses offered at Bergen Community College. This provides students with dual credit opportunities. The upgraded kitchen will allow students to engage in instructional opportunities using industry standard tools and equipment.
