“They did an amazing job,” said CTE instructor Katelin Gellness.
The YVHS team also created a chicken, quinoa and mushroom dish. They finished third overall and came home with the first prize for best main dish!
“I am so honored and proud to work alongside each and every one of my students, few can brave a competition like the one these students faced against the east and west ends of San Bernardino county,” said CTE instructor Ewalani Taijeron. “ Follow your passion and pursue your dreams.”
