Year two of the Culinary Program at Hermann High School, and we are proud to recognize the first two students in school history to earn the ProStart Certificate of Achievement from the National Restaurant Association.👩🍳✨
Over the past two years, these students have dedicated countless hours to developing culinary skills and industry knowledge. Along the way, they earned ServSafe certifications, successfully passed both Level 1 and Level 2 exams, and completed more than 400 hours of mentored culinary experiences in Hermann, MO.
Grace Engemann will attend St. Louis Community College to study Baking & Pastry and Business, with hopes of opening her own bake shop one day. The ProStart certification has given her a strong foundation in both culinary skills and professional kitchen experience as she works toward that goal.
Alaina Heaney will attend the University of Missouri to pursue a career as a speech pathologist or kindergarten teacher. While her future career path may be outside the culinary industry, this certification will help her continue gaining valuable work experience and earning potential through hospitality jobs while in college.
Congratulations, Grace and Alaina! We are excited to see where your hard work, leadership, and passion take you next.
