Food Preparation and
Management at Harford Technical High School is a three year program.
Students will learn food preparation, sanitation and safety practices,
service procedures, food and equipment identification, and management
skills. In the senior year, students may participate in the Cooperative
Work Experience Program. Food
Preparation and Management provides a broad base of experience in food
service so that students will realize the diversity of this field.
Occupational areas include
chef, pastry chef, hot and cold cook, food manager, caterer, server,
purchasing agent and cashier. Graduates successfully
completing the program have an advantage over non-technical high school
students. Students have the beginning of a skill that will allow them to
achieve a good income within a few years of graduation, as well as
preparing them for higher education if they so desire. Many students
continue their education in this field at culinary colleges.
Businesses where students may
find employment include fine dining restaurants, fast food
establishments, catering businesses, institutional settings, hotels and
motels, and cruise ships. Successful students in the
program possess the ability to work cooperatively with others to
complete tasks, have basic math, reading and communication skills, and
demonstrate a willingness to participate in all food service tasks.
