Culinary Arts & Catering Management students gathered for a farewell celebration at Van Buren Tech to reflect on the program’s impact. The event marked the beginning of a renovation that will transform the kitchen into a modern, state-of-the-art learning space for future students.

Van Buren Tech had the honor of bringing together past and present Culinary Arts & Catering Management students, VBISD Board of Education, staff, and supporters to celebrate the incredible impact of this program. As we prepare for a major renovation, transforming our space into a state-of-the-art teaching kitchen, we took a moment to reflect on the memories, achievements, and dedication that have shaped this program over the years.

This farewell celebration was not just about saying goodbye to our current kitchen, it was about recognizing the hard work, passion, and commitment of everyone who has contributed to the success of our students. Their support has been instrumental in building a strong foundation for the future.

We are eager to reopen in a year with a modern, cutting-edge learning environment that will better equip our students with the skills needed to thrive in the culinary industry.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. The future of Van Buren Tech’s Culinary Arts program is brighter than ever! Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting transformation.
