CUERO, TX -Students from the Cuero High School Culinary Arts program contributed to the Governor’s Small Business Summit this week, providing a selection of cakes and dessert cups for attendees. The event, hosted by the Cuero Chamber of Commerce, brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community representatives for a day of presentations and networking.
The culinary preparation for the summit required four days of planning, baking, and assembly, carried out by students in the program’s Mean Green Catering Crew. Featured student contributors included Kimberly, Joceline, Cullen, Karlie, and Trevor, who worked under the direction of the CHS Culinary Arts staff to meet the event’s service and presentation standards.
The Governor’s Small Business Summit is designed to support economic development and provide resources for small business owners across the region. Participation by the CHS Culinary Arts program offered students an opportunity to apply classroom skills in a professional setting, gaining experience in large‑scale food production and event coordination.
The collaboration reflects the program’s ongoing efforts to engage with community partners while providing students with practical, career‑focused learning experiences.
