In 2018, Project G.R.I.L.L. celebrated it’s 10th anniversary of providing students a hands-on experience in creating a product, managing a budget, executing a timeline and partnering with a business to create functional grill during the school year. This program pairs local manufacturers with area high school tech ed students for a year-long project to design and build a working charcoal grill from scratch.

We invite you to join us on Friday, May 10, 2019 at Festival Foods for the unveiling event! The grills are “fired up” to cook lunch for attendees, and participants get to see for the first time what each partnership created.

 

 

Our first annual High School Hiring Expo linked 800 high school juniors and seniors with 76 area businesses to find summer, after school and permanent employment. We are excited for this event to return in 2019. For more information, check out the event page.
