NOTICE: Mulberry's illustrious leader has chosen to discontinue this program for next year even though it is one of the better equipped commercial kitchens available in Polk County. I shall retire and enjoy a stress free life instead of working 12+ hours in the kitchen, marketing, preparing lesson plans, grading papers, catering, etc. I wish love and light to all of my students (past & present) and peers... Ms. K
Culinary Arts at Mulberry High is an Academy!
