SFHS PRO START Begins New Competition

On March 4th Spanish Fork High School’s Pro Start team consisting of Casey Shakespeare, Anjuli Humphreys, Sara Almanza, Mathew Christiansen and Sarah Nelson, competed in the Pro Start foods competition held in Salt Lake City. During this competition, the team was required to prepare a three course meal in under one hour. The team prepared a delicious meal which was then judged by a panel of judges, which consisted of chefs and restaurant owners. Throughout this completion the team was also expected to fabricate a chicken into eight parts showing their knife skills. All together the team was judged on the food’s appearance, sanitation, organization, knife skills and technical difficulty of skills. This was the first time Spanish Fork High School has been involved in this competition. Shakespeare said, “I would do it again now that we know what to expect!” Carol Larsen, Foods teacher at SFHS said, “They were able to grow close as a team.” The team was able to increase their talents in culinary arts as they represented Spanish Fork High School very well.
