Culinary Program To Be Offered At Heights Career Tech

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — The Heights Career Tech program will begin offering a Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management pathway during the 2019-2020 school year. Participants will be able to earn 10 college credits for completing the program.

“Our goal at the high school is to create as many opportunities as possible for student success after they graduate,” said Shaker Heights High School principal Jonathan Kuehnle. “This partnership with Tri-C through the Heights Career Tech Consortium will enable students to get a head start on their college or career training in the culinary arts and hospitality industry.”

The program is part of a partnership between Heights Career Tech and the Cuyahoga County Community College Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management program. This new program will start with 18 juniors, each taking two courses, at Tri-C's Eastern Campus.

In 2020-2021, the program will expand to include 18 new juniors, while 18 seniors continue on. More information on the program will be available at the annual Career Fair on November 15 at Cleveland Heights High School. There will also be an information session from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. that evening.

The Heights Career Tech program is composed of five school districts: Cleveland Heights-University Heights, Bedford, Maple Heights, Shaker Heights and Warrensville Heights high schools. Students can earn professional certifications, college credit, and other industry-recognized credentials through the program.
