HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Students at Hutchinson High School used their newly renovated kitchen classroom to prepare a full holiday meal on Tuesday, December 13, 2022.
In August of 2022, the USD 308 Board of Education approved renovation plans for one of the kitchen classrooms at Hutchinson High School. The plans included updates that support the needs of students with disabilities.
On Tuesday, students were able to use the kitchen for the first time and prepared a full holiday meal to share with district leaders.
The new space will be used by 40 students across the Hutchinson High School campus.
Staff at HHS were able to give input on the project in order to incorporate the needs of students.
“We have lots of responsibilities as educators, one of them is to provide academic skills for the here and now, but also to prepare them for a life after high school. The kitchen gives the opportunity for our students to practice skills that they’ll need after they leave us," said USD 308 Assistant Superintendent of Special Education, Jessica Engelland.
