Trimble Tech Grad Accepted to Top-Rated Culinary School

From Emeril Legasse to Tyler Florence, some of the top chefs in the country developed their craft at Johnson & Wales University’s College of Culinary Arts. And that is where a very excited Nadia Santiago is now headed. The 2012 Trimble Tech graduate has been accepted to the college’s Providence, Rhode Island campus.

Nadia will work toward a degree in Culinary Arts with an emphasis in Baking and Pastry. She is attending the college with the help of two scholarships – one from the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America and another from the ProStart program.

Joseph Flink, Trimble Tech’s Gold Seal Programs of Choice/Academic Coordinator, said Nadia worked hard to earn the scholarships. He also credited Culinary Arts teacher Natasha Bruton for pushing students to do their best.

 “To have a student accepted into a top tier culinary school is a compliment to the dedication of the teacher and the students,” said Flink.

Trimble Tech’s Culinary Arts program is a Fort Worth ISD Gold Seal Program of Choice. Students in this program have the opportunity to work with experts in the field and earn culinary certifications upon graduation. Besides culinary arts, Trimble Tech High School offers Gold Seal Programs of Choice in Applied Learning, Health Science Technology, as well as an unbelievable 22 additional areas of study to prepare students for college and career.  For more information on Gold Seal Programs of Choice and Schools of Choice, visit. www.fwisd.org/choice.
