🎉 Culinary Arts Students Shine at the Taste of the Permian Basin — Two Years in a Row! 🎉
Our Culinary Arts students once again represented our school and program with excellence at this year’s Taste of the Permian Basin event, held at the Horseshoe Pavilion! Over 400 guests attended the event, which featured restaurants and culinary programs from across the region.
With this year’s Texas theme, our students created and served a mouthwatering menu featuring:
🌶️ Main Dish: Texas Chili served in Sweet Cornbread Muffin cups, garnished with shredded cheese and fresh jalapeño
🔥 Appetizer: Sausage slices in House-Made Bearkat BBQ Sauce
🍓 Desserts: Mini Strawberry Shortcake Parfaits and Tiny Crème Brûlée Tarts topped with candied pecans from Dieringer Farms
Our students didn’t just cook — they also decorated, set up, served, and interacted with guests throughout the evening, proudly sharing information about our Culinary Arts program and school district. Their professionalism, teamwork, and enthusiasm truly stood out!
A special highlight of the night came when Sara Garvin and Fabiola DeLuna created a stunning western-themed cake, which sold for $200 in the auction to raise scholarships for culinary students. 🎂🤠
We are so proud to share that several participating restaurants were so impressed with our students’ skills and hospitality that they expressed interest in hiring them on the spot! 👏
💛 Congratulations to our talented Culinary Arts students for another successful year representing our program and community with excellence and Bearkat pride!

Last week, Lillian Yanez represented our district at the SkillsUSA Washington Leadership Training Institute (WLTI) in Washington, D.C.! 🇺🇸✈️
Lillian earned her spot at WLTI by achieving the Texas Statesman Award during Leadership Camp in Hunt, TX this summer. While in Washington, she:
✅ Participated in leadership sessions on advocating for Career & Technical Education (CTE) funding.
✅ Met with the offices of our U.S. Senators and Representatives.
✅ Explored historic sites while learning about the history and function of our government.
Her hard work paid off with an incredible honor—earning the U.S. Statesman Award, an achievement awarded to fewer than 500 students nationwide each year! 🎖️ Even more impressive, Lillian was the only student in our district to receive this distinction.
We are so proud of her dedication, leadership, and commitment to representing our community at the national level. 👏
