Great things are “crust” around the corner at Great Bridge High School! 🍕
🧑🏼🍳 Last week, we had a “slice” of excitement at GBHS as they celebrated their brand-new pizza oven launch! Thanks to a generous grant and some dough-raising efforts, the culinary program turned their vision into a delicious reality.
After months of preparation and “kneading” perfection, Chef Kathleen Parker and her student chefs tossed into action, serving up piping hot pizzas to faculty and staff. Hats off to their great work! 👩🏾🍳 GBHS is really raising the bar on tasty learning!
