Glasscock County ISD

Thursday night, our Bearkats Culinary students had the opportunity to showcase their skills at Taste of the Permian Basin in Midland, and they made Garden City proud with the food they prepared, the professionalism they showed, and the way they represented our program and Glasscock County ISD! Our students prepared and served an incredible menu: 🔥 Smoked Pork Tenderloin topped with fresh, house-made chimichurri sauce 🥩 Beef & Bleu Crostinis featuring smoked tri-tip, house-made horseradish cream, and bleu cheese crumbles 🧀 Gourmet Grilled Cheese on sourdough with post oak-smoked Gouda, pepper jack, our special smoked brisket onion jam, and pickled red onions 🤎 And our showstopper sweet — Pâte à Choux Mini Cream Puffs filled with homemade toasted marshmallow cream and topped with chocolate and graham cracker crumbles! As if that wasn’t enough, senior Sophie Sullivan also put her baking and decorating skills to work by creating a beautiful cake for the event’s scholarship auction! 🎂❤️ Events like this give our students the chance to take everything they learn in the classroom and kitchen and put it into action in a real-world setting—planning, preparing, plating, serving, interacting with guests, and working together as a team. Watching them confidently serve food they created alongside area restaurants and culinary professionals was pretty special. These kids continue to prove that CTE is more than a class—it’s an opportunity to develop skills, confidence, and experiences they’ll carry long after graduation. So proud of our Bearkats and the way they represented Glasscock County ISD Culinary! ❤️🖤🤍
