Under the guidance of art instructor Emily Strickland, students created 80 handcrafted bowls for this year’s Empty Bowls fundraiser. Each one is unique, thoughtfully made, and truly special—just like the students who created them.
Every bowl tells a story of creativity, care, and community, and we’re so proud of the talent behind them. 💙

Wakulla High School’s Culinary Arts students played an important role in the success of the Wakulla County Schools inaugural Teacher of the Year Gala, preparing and serving the meal for over 200 guests.
Under the guidance of their Instructor Ryan Warner, these students showcased not only their culinary skills, but also the teamwork, responsibility, and attention to detail that define the Hospitality and Tourism program at Wakulla High School. From preparation to service, they represented our school and program with excellence.
The spirit of collaboration was on full display throughout the evening, with Michele Falk, principal of Wakulla High School, jumping in alongside students to lend a hand and support the team during the event.
Opportunities like this allow students to apply classroom learning in real-world settings while serving their community—an experience that builds confidence and prepares them for future careers in the culinary and hospitality fields.
We are proud of our Culinary students for their hard work and for helping make this special night a meaningful celebration for educators across Wakulla County Schools. đź‘Ź
