Check out the South Western Career Academy's
Career Tech Program Drone Tour!
From digital electronics to early childhood education, fabrication, radiology to radiant energy, and everywhere in between, Career Technical Education helps students learn skills for the future. By the time the students graduate, they will have earned an education founded on rigor, career certifications, and on-the-job experience. The South Western City Schools Career Technical Programs prepare students for two-year and even four-year colleges. These programs are available at the district's four home high schools and the South Western Career Academy. Typically, two years in a single program are required to earn at least five credits, so students should choose carefully during their sophomore year for a two-year commitment to a program. Students coming out of each of these programs have the upper hand in landing a job because there is such a high demand in today's job sector for these skilled trades.

Culinary and Hospitality Arts Students Win
Ohio Beef Council Burger Battle!
|
On November 13th of 2024, Alexis Lopez-Lopez and his teammate Araceli Rodriguez, two Culinary & Hospitality Arts students, competed with students from across the state of Ohio in a unique culinary challenge, the 2024 Burger Battle. This battle, sponsored by the Ohio Beef Council, brought together aspiring chefs to showcase their skills and creativity in crafting the perfect burger. Historically, teams from the South Western Career Academy have placed 2nd or 3rd, but never clinched the top spot—until now.
This year, the stakes were higher as the event was filmed, capturing the students' journey from raw ingredients to award-winning burgers. The ultimate task was to create and name a flavorful, marketable burger. Alexis and Araceli provided a recipe, costing, and menu pricing along with a menu photo and menu description as part of the contest. After a long, stressful competition, our students emerged victorious. On the morning of February 4th, the winning team visited the Ohio Beef Council (OBC) headquarters in Marysville, Ohio to film a commercial for the OBC website. The footage will also be used to promote the event and highlight the talent and dedication of Ohio's young culinary enthusiasts. |
