Crystal Lake South High School, Crystal Lake, Ill., is putting a new spotlight on teaching trades to better connect students to real-world opportunities. To that end, it launched a new culinary curriculum that requires much more of its existing “home ec” kitchen. Community High School District 155 brought in Kristin Sedej, FCSI, Principal, S2O Consultants, Chicago, to create a cutting-edge production space and classroom. “The existing Crystal Lake South High School facility consisted of six home-style kitchens, with residential laminate counters and each with a sink, microwave, and residential stoves with ovens,” says Sedej.
