Croissant Envy... and Now Danishes Too?!
We’re not saying we’re jealous… but okay, we totally are. Our Culinary Arts students have been baking up a storm, and the results have been nothing short of mouthwatering.
First up—our AM students wowed us by making croissants from scratch. Staff participated in a blind taste test, judging flaky layers and creative flavor combinations without knowing whose plate was whose. What a treat!
Then our PM students brought their A-game in a Danish competition, crafting both sweet and savory Danishes that were equally impressive. Every bite was a showcase of skill and creativity.
Congratulations to our winners!
AM Winning Group: Reagan Golladay, Alexia Ramirez, and Kolton Hansford
PM Winners: Brayan Farias and Hadasa Sanchez
We are so proud of all the students for their incredible work. Hats off (and chef hats on) to these rising culinary stars—you’ve truly raised the bar!

Sharing again as we are getting much closer to this event...
We’re just weeks away from our 10th annual Tradeshow of Innovation at Spokane Valley Tech! Students have been hard at work designing, building, and testing their incredible projects—from mental health solutions and assistive tech to apps, robots, and more.
You’re invited to join us on Thursday, May 29 for one of two sessions (8:30–11:00AM or 11:30–2:00PM). Each session includes a student project exhibition followed by industry-themed presentations. Expect live demos from fire science/EMT/manufacturing, award-winning teams (freshman e-cyber mission state winners who are heading to Virginia to compete in the regional competition put on by the US Army), and inspiring ideas!
Feel free to share this invite. More details will follow after you RSVP. We hope to see you there! RSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/4a49xjxc

WST Fire Science Students had a great day thanks to Central Kitsap Fire. CKF brought a Fire Engine down so that students could experience working with the hoses and breathing the compressed air. Students experienced what it is like to change oxygen tanks, use high pressure hoses and work as a team.
