👩🍳✨ First Day in the Kitchen! ✨
Houston CTE Culinary Arts I students spent their very first day in the kitchen putting skills into action! From practicing accurate measuring to mastering basic cutting techniques, students got a taste of what it takes to be successful in the culinary world.
These hands-on lessons are the foundation every great chef needs—teaching precision, safety, and confidence in the kitchen. We can’t wait to see how their skills grow throughout the year!

Congratulations to Mrs. Rooker on being the winner of the gift basket presented by the National Council of Negro Women-Okolona Section.
Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Myatt’s first-year Health Science students took their Infection Awareness & Prevention unit beyond the textbook this week! Students swabbed a variety of surfaces around campus—from doorknobs and desks to water fountains and keyboards—to test for bacteria growth.
Over the next several days, they’ll observe and record their results, learning how bacteria spreads in everyday environments and why proper hygiene and sanitation practices are so important in healthcare.

Houston CTE Health Science students in Mrs. Myatt’s class presented research on non-profit healthcare organizations like the American Red Cross, St. Jude, and local clinics. They learned how these groups impact communities and gained insight into the importance of non-profits in the healthcare system.
Houston CTE is proud to support all our incredible student-athletes at Houston High! From the football field, to cheer, cross country, volleyball, golf, to our very own marching band. We see your hard work, dedication, and school spirit.
