Carmel High School's Culinary Program has been cooking up great opportunities and delicious dishes! Culinary Arts, part of the CHS Polytechnic Department, offers students an exciting avenue to explore their passion for cooking and develop invaluable life skills. This innovative program provides multiple levels of courses, allowing students to chart their own path toward a potential culinary career or simply gain a lifelong skill with a fun, hands-on elective.
CHS senior Scout Phillips has taken culinary arts courses for three years. Scout is a shining example of how the program empowers students to pursue their passions alongside rigorous academics. When not furthering his passion for baking specifically, he is taking AP Statistics, AP Governments, and Biomedical Science. His dedication to honing his culinary skills has not only enriched his high school experience but has also opened doors to exciting career opportunities.
While Scout is not committed to a future in the culinary arts, he also works a part-time position at the esteemed high-end Carmel restaurant, Osteria. This position is a testament to the solid foundation provided by Carmel High School's Culinary Program.
