DO NOT Take Cosmetology at the Career Center…read more the 1st year (junior) cosmetology class is amazing. The new teacher is everything you could hope for kind, patient, understanding, and actually cares about helping you succeed. That class makes you excited about the beauty industry and gives you hope for a future in it. Then comes 2nd year (senior year) and that's where everything falls apart. The teacher, Ms. Reid, is without a doubt the most toxic, rude, and unprofessional teacher I've ever had. She will make you question your career path, your self-worth, and your decision to even walk into that building. I'm not being dramatic I'm speaking from experience, and so are many other girls who went through it. She constantly has an attitude for no reason, treats students like they're beneath her, and acts like answering a simple question is a personal insult. She refuses to repeat herself, even if you're genuinely trying to learn. She makes everything a problem like she's searching for reasons to tear you down or embarrass you. And the way she criticizes students is disgusting. Instead of helping or correcting your work respectfully, she'll make the most disrespectful, nasty faces in front of everyone even when you've put time and effort into a hairstyle. She'll roll her eyes, sigh loudly, or just tell you to "start over" with zero explanation or support. It's not just unhelpful it's humiliating. She does this often, and not just to one or two students to many of us. She's cold, bitter, and completely unfit to be teaching a class where professionalism is supposed to be taught. It's incredibly ironic that we're being told to act professional, while our teacher is the exact opposite rude, miserable, invasive, and emotionally damaging. This class started with 40 students 20 in the morning, 20 in the afternoon. Less than halfway through the year, we had only 6 girls left in the morning and maybe 6 or 7 in the afternoon. People were dropping like flies, and not because they didn't love cosmetology they just couldn't deal with her. That should tell you everything you need to know. Even worse, if you go to the administration to complain, they do nothing but say students are dropping the class "due to failing classes at their highschool". They defend her no matter what, and no matter how many complaints she gets. It's like she's protected and untouchable, even when she's clearly the reason the class is falling apart. On top of all that only about TWO people a year get their license from this program. That says a lot. How can a cosmetology class fail this many students every single year and nothing be done about it? Ms. Reid takes her own personal misery out on her students. She doesn't inspire, she doesn't teach, and she definitely doesn't care. She kills motivation, drains passion, and ruins the experience for people who once truly loved the idea of becoming cosmetologists. Other teachers in the building and other schools don't even respect how she teaches they see it too. She doesn't belong in this role. So please, if you're considering taking cosmetology at the Career Center in high school don't. Save your money, your time, and your mental health. Take it after high school in a place that will actually support you and help you grow. This class is a disaster because of one person and her name is Ms. Reid.

The aviation program does not have an instructor as he resigned.i spoke with the principal and she…read moretold me they were interviewing for an instructor. The kids were assigned work to do weeks ago. They have no work assigned.now and are doing nothing but talking. The substitute is not.teachimg. The career center received a grant for the.aviation program. I would think they could do some educating of these young kids that are attempting to prepare for graduation in a short time. They should be allowed to enter another program so they will be studying something. I believe this should be brought to the attention of the school board so a plan can be put into place to resolve this Kim Howell

Who knew I had such a talented team! We held our annual in-person team building event this year in…read moreWinston-Salem. My department is comprised of all remote workers, so we usually only see each other in virtual meetings. Just shy of 40 people broke up into 4 teams to cook 4 separate dishes from veggie to dessert. We had such a great time! I always send out a survey to my team regarding the annual event and every bit of feedback I received regarding the Iron Chef Experience was 100% positive! The experience was well organized, well managed, and in a great facility. All of the food was amazing and I feel some great bonds were formed across all areas of my department. I would highly recommend these guys for whatever level of event you are looking into.

We had a surplus birthday party at our home. Chef Don came to our home and, with the help of 4 dear…read morefriends, transformed our kitchen into a cooking classroom. We made a delicious salad dressing, chicken Florentine, ratatouille, and flaming cherries jubilee, to pour on top of a decadent Bobby Boy's Bakery chocolate cake! Everything was delicious. Chef Don regaled us with interesting stories of his world travels as a chef on a private yacht, chef for a catering company that served several major airlines, executive chef for a major tobacco company, and chef and owner of several restaurants. All who attended felt like we learned some tricks, were well fed, and made a new friend!
