Thank you to the @blmfire and @forestservice firefighters for allowing our Fire Science students to participate and interact with a "Mock Fire" in Hidden Valley today! Great experience for our students to simulate real wildland fires and how they are responded to.

Very Proud of Abigail Rodriguez & her dream of preparing meals for the @eddy_house using our Culinary program’s resources. This week her dream came true & she very thoughtfully named the program after Chef Wright’s wife who sadly recently passed. Great Job Abigail!! #wcsdproud
