Culinary and Engineering yesterday had a cross collaboration lesson. Engineering designed, developed cookie cutters, and 3D printed prototypes. We went over to work with culinary who was going to make sugar cookies/icing. The students all worked together on rolling the dough and trying to cut out cookies with the designed cookie cutters, and then baking them.

On March 7-9, seven Pickens High School Students competed in the 4-H District Project Achievement competition at Rock Eagle 4-H Center! For this competition, students chose a project of their interest, learned about their topics, created a portfolio (resume-like document displaying their efforts), wrote a 10-minute speech, created a presentation, and presented it in front of judges and peers.
These are the PHS students who participated:
Reese Davis, 1st Place | International Project
Sarahi Flores, 1st Place | Food Safety and Preservation Project
Sheila Flores, 1st Place | Workforce Preparation and Career Development Project
Micah Newton, 1st Place | Housing Project (also winning the Water Wise Scholarship for his water-conservation efforts and was elected, by his 4-H peers, President of the Northeast District 4-H Senior Board of Directors)
Sky Paredes, 1st Place | Textiles, Merchandising, and Interiors Project
Tyler Weatherbee, 3rd Place | Performing Arts- Other Instrumental Project
