As we continue to recognize CTE Month, today we showcase Davis Culinary Arts students ProStart competition menu that will happen in March. As always, Blanson Hospitality students did an outstanding job hosting, and the décor was absolutely beautiful. @AldineCTE @EducatorMar10

So proud to see our CTE Ambassadors giving up their Saturday to plan, grow, and lead. Their dedication to representing CTE with excellence speaks volumes about who they are as leaders. Thank you, Dr. Sheffield, for your leadership. @mlle_sheffy @EducatorMar10 @AldineCTE

Mustang Bistro did it again. 🔥 Blackened chicken, red beans & rice, smothered cabbage, AND praline pound cake?? Be serious. How is anyone supposed to work after this? Productivity has left the building. 🍽️😮‍💨Shoutout to Chef Green for reckless levels of good service and flavor.

Having the opportunity to tour Thomas Printworks on Thursday was great. We can’t wait to expose our CTE students to the amazing opportunities happening right down the street. Thank you, Alan, for the tour. We’re looking forward to a strong partnership in 2026. @AldineCTE

Thank you to our CTE Ambassadors, @NimitzHS_AISD BPA members, and @BlansonCTEHS BPA members for judging and checking in students. I truly could not have done this without you all!

As always, Aldine Culinary Arts students never disappoint. The food truly speaks for itself! @AldineCTE

Loved watching my son perform with the Houston Academy choir for the first time. This brought back so many memories of me performing. Thank you, Mr. Williams, for your guidance and passion for music. Great job to all the performers today. Excellent show! @Houston_AISD

@mlle_sheffy @AldineCTE Mine is already ruin 🤦🏽‍♀️.

@ImALottMBA @AldineCTE At this point, I need a food intervention. Our students cook like they’re trying to ruin my self-control! 🤣🍴🔥

Always a pleasure seeing Aldine Senior Culinary Arts students sell lunch at the Bamberg while Nimitz Culinary Arts students sell at the Donaldson. The food is always delicious, and I love that we continue giving students real-world opportunities. @AldineCTE

Started my morning @AldineHS_AISD with Entrepreneurship presentation on a case copying 50 Cent’s idea, then creative cartoon-character eulogies in Professional Communication. Confident speakers—proud of them! @AldineCTE

BPA Middle Level Fall Leadership Conference 🎉. It’s always a joy seeing the students work together in team-building activities and learn more about BPA! I’m especially proud of my nephew for hosting a session this year. A great experience for students to grow professionally.
