This Week's Program

The program this week was presented by Rotarian Mike Fisher. Mike is the Director of Culinary Studies at Hollister high school and was the founder and chef at Fisher's Restaurant. He also has a catering business in Hollister.

In his 6th year at teaching cooking at Hollister High School, Mike has over 160 students attending his classes. It is one of the most popular courses at the school.

The mission of his teaching is to build professionalism and self-worth in his students by partnering with local businesses and teaching Work Based Learning. WBL includes industry tours, local speakers, catering school visits, and internships. Some examples he told us were The Baler Barn at football games, catering for the United Way Gala, and Staff Holiday Party at the high school, and catering to other on campus events.

Mike also told us about his Transaction Partnership Program for special education students. The program provides these students with an opportunity to show value and use failure as a learning tool.

Mike took questions from the audience, and we learn more from this Q&A session as well.
