Hillhouse High School, Food Tech Program:
Selected Dining Rooms assist in vocational training of high school students who require fulltime special education. Training assignments both in the kitchen and interacting with students in the dining rooms.

You are a senior who is graduating in one month. Your new, wonderful job begins in two weeks after graduation and you are apartment hunting in the big city of your choice.

Hey! All these apartments, even the efficiencies, have kitchens! What the heck do you need a kitchen for? Where's the microwave?  All the places you've looked at have these things called stoves. What in the world are you supposed to do with that thing?  And aren't refrigerators meant to store sneakers?  You don't need a seperate room for a refrigerator, do you?

The Dining Services team loves to demonstrate their culinary talents and sense of fun by producing a theme event each semester. These are gastronomic and decorative feasts with local and international flair. The fall "Whistle Stop Tour" took our students on a cross-country train ride with tasty food rest-stops along the way.

Spring Them events transported students to several exotic locations and even some familiar, comfortable locales. A pie-eating contest turned into a pie-throwing melee. One of the dining rooms was transformed into the famous "Dinosaur BBQ Restaraunt" in downtown, Syracuse, New York. No matter where the fantasy theme was experienced, all the colleges were fabulously decorated and deliciously served.
