San Diego High School has many interesting pathways for students to choose from, and Culinary Arts is a fantastic one to select. Students enter the pathway with the introductory level course “Food Prep and Nutrition”. This is an introduction into cooking, the world of hospitality, restaurants, and the many options there are in this fast-paced industry.

As students advance in the pathway they develop more skills that will assist them in entering the workforce. The students are extremely fortunate to have a professional kitchen on the campus here at SDHS (currently being renovated) and are able to receive a hands-on learning experience that only a few other schools in the district can provide.

The SDHS Culinary Arts and Management pathway is part of the state-wide College, Career, and Technical Education (CCTE) program and can provide college credit. 

For more information please contact Chef Johnson, SDHS Culinary Program Director.
