Culinary Excellence in Action! 🍳✨

We are so proud of Ms. Kinlaw’s Foods II students! These talented individuals took their skills out of the classroom and into the community.

They successfully planned, prepared, and served a delicious meal for the Bladen County Board of Education and the Bladen County Commissioners during their first joint meeting held at Bladen Community College.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to showcase their professional hospitality and culinary talents to our county leaders. Way to go! 🌟

Mr. Nunnery’s Horticulture class has been a tremendous support in helping the Knights of Excellence begin their vegetable garden. Students worked together to prepare the soil, plant seeds, and learn about proper care for growing vegetables. This collaboration provided hands-on learning opportunities while building teamwork and responsibility among all students involved. The experience not only supports life skills development for the Knights of Excellence, but also fosters meaningful connections between programs across campus.
