Chef D and her culinary students have been working with shrimp this week and prepared spicy shrimp tacos with avocado creme and shrimp etouffee.
During the month of January, the Greene County Extension Office and Greene County Career Academy featured the Culinary Career Pathway. Youth were led by Julie Kennedy, high school culinary teacher, in two different classes. The first class was for youth in grades 1-3 and a second class was for youth in grades 4-8.
In the first class, the younger youth learned about MyPlate, how to make a healthy after- school snack, knife skills, hand washing, the difference between an herb and a spice, and about food presentation. The older group touched on the same skills the younger group did but also were able to learn how to make grilled cheese on the griddle, stir fry, pesto, and a dipping oil.
This is always a fan favorite that youth look forward to, and they leave with a full stomach!

MANUFACTURING DAY 2024
The Greene County High School, GCDC, and the Greene County Career Academy are working together to celebrate the 2024 Manufacturing Day on Friday, October 4th, by taking students on tours to American Athletic/Spalding in Jefferson and to John Deere in Paton.
Fifty-three students interested in manufacturing careers are participating this year. Students from the industrial tech, career academy welding, iJAG, careers, and work-based learning classes will be split into two groups with one bus starting at American Athletic/Spalding and the other bus starting at John Deere.
We are looking forward to these tours, and we thank these businesses for hosting our students.
