My student teaching experience allowed me to do everything I’m doing now in the classroom – from creating lesson plans to attending student evaluation meetings.

Getting a job after graduation was easier for Ana because of  Monroe's many connections in the community.

Rossella earned her way to culinary school by winning a medal at a Monroe cooking competition...while she was in high school.  

Kimani had the experience of a lifetime as one of the few culinary students who got a chance to study in the school’s eight-week  program in Italy.

While at Monroe, Chef Jorge was part of the culinary team which won the NY State Championship.

Chef David studied for three months in Italy, giving him the chance to experience Italian culture and cooking first-hand.
