🍴🎉 Off to a Great Start! CCP Culinary Students Make History at CCCC – Chatham Campus! 🎉🍴

This semester, Central Carolina Community College’s Chatham Campus proudly hosted its first-ever High School Career & College Promise (CCP) Culinary Arts class — and we are off to a great start!

Led by Chef Lee (Lewillis Q. Wilson, Sr.), our inaugural CCP Culinary students:
👨‍🍳 Jade Brown (Seaforth High School)
👨‍🍳 Jackson Derrick (Seaforth High School)
👨‍🍳 Matthew Strom (Seaforth High School)
👨‍🍳 Aiden Danna (Seaforth High School)
👩‍🍳 Eimy Acosta Valdez (Chatham Central High School)

All students successfully completed CUL 140 – Culinary Skills I, and 100% earned their ServSafe® Food Safety Certification — a nationally recognized credential that prepares them for success in the foodservice industry and beyond.

These students demonstrated professionalism, leadership, and dedication in a true college-level kitchen environment. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and excited about the future of the CCP Culinary Arts program at CCCC.

👏 Congratulations to our students, and thank you to our high school partners for supporting Career & College Promise!

We had a wonderful experience at the CCCC Foundation's Scholarship Banquet yesterday - our students prepared the food, set up, served everyone, and it was delicious! We are getting a lot of compliments on our students and how professional they all were and how fantastic the food was, and it makes us so proud to hear it. It is a very diverse group of folks who work together well.
