In July 2019, North Carolina K-12 Culinary Institute graduates become chef ambassadors prepared to teach other school nutrition professionals at the local school level. The workshop was at Pasquotank High School in Elizabeth City. Dare County School was represented by three school nutrition managers, (from left) Laura Pitetti (Cape Hatteras Elementary), Nancy O’Brien (Nags Head Elementary), Chef Andy Montero, Chef & Owner Montero's Restaurant, and Lisa Barnes (Kitty Hawk Elementary).
